95 Civic Won't Start
After getting my cooling system fixed (see my previous threads) I now have another problem. Car started up fine for my drive home from work. I went about a half mile and the car stalled while running. Couldn't get it started again and got the car towed to the office parking lot. The next morning, the car still doesn't start.
Car seems to be turning over so I don't think it's the battery. Any ideas on how to start diagnosing?

Some updates:
I checked the continuity on the main relay and it seems fine. Also, when I turn the key to the "on" position I can hear what I think is the fuel pump initializing. I did a quick test to see if there was any fuel being delivered by loosening the bolt at the top of the fuel filter and then turning the key to the "on" position. From what I understand, fuel is supposed to spray out for about a few seconds. I didn't see any fuel spray out. I thought maybe a clogged fuel filter and I replaced the fuel filter.
Car still isn't starting. I haven't been able to check for spark yet because I haven't been able to get another person to turn the key while I'm holding the plug wire, but I suppose that'll be the next thing I try and do.
Could the problem just be a weak fuel pump?
