Default 2000 civic 1.6 atm starting issues

replaced fuel pump started up fine,drove 10 minutes ,turned it off for 10 minutes,would not startback up unless I kept cranking it over like I was force feeding fuel to it,would run at a lower rpm enough to drive it but could not rev up unless played with throttle to let it catch up,i haven't replaced filter yet but will today,acts like bad gas sort of,or struggling to push fuel through dirty filter maybe,could it be a regulater ?

Find the return hose that goes from the regulator on the fuel rail to a metal pipe on the firewall. Take it off at the firewall end and direct it into a container. Turn the key on but don't crank. You should get a decent flow of clean fuel for a few seconds as the pump primes. It will not run continuously with the engine stopped.

Likely this problem is not fuel related. Have you checked the ECU for codes?
