I'll just start where I noticed something was wrong.
Yesterday I was accelerating from a stop light in 1st, when at about 3k, my car stopped accelerating. It felt like it ran out of gas (my gauge says I have 1/3 tank left). I immediatly shifted to 2nd and kept accelerating and everything was fine. Accelerated from the next stoplight and the same thing happened. I immediatly shifted to 2nd and found that wasn't helping any. No matter how far I put my foot into the pedal, my car just acted like it was out of gas. Luckily I was able to coast into a parking lot.
Today I replaced cap & rotor and tried a few things. It came down to my plugs not firing and my fuel pump not priming. When I turned the ignition on, absolutely no fuel came out of the line going into the fuel filter. I would start the car (very hard to start), and it would run for a second or so, then die. Is it possible that the entire prolem is being caused by a faulty Main Relay? I'm stumped, so any input is appreciated.

I'll be picking one up tomorrow. I'm thinking about running down to the gas station and getting some in a gas can. That would suck if my gauge was off and I'm just out of gas.
Anybody else?

So I went to Honda today. If I order a main relay from them, it'll be here next wednesday.
Anybody else have any luck with theirs?
