Default 99' Accord EX WONT START

My accord wont start, at all anymore! It kicks over and i get nothing.
My friend changed the spark plugs and cleaned off the distibutor cap and rotor, but said that they looked fine. He went ahead and also changed my fuel pump. He also tested the coil which was fine. Even fuse looks good.
The problem started a couple weeks ago, but after about 5-10 minutes it would start again. Once someone had even jumpped me and it started, but i know that its not the battery. The car has about 140,000 miles on it. What suggestions do you guys have?

do you have any trouble codes? if so, check those out, it may lead you to your problem. also do a bulb check.... key in turn to on... watch the lights on the dash. if the check engine fails to light at all, then theres no communication with the ecu. last case senario... replace the computer.

Are you getting spark on all the plugs? Getting gas from all injectors? Make shure you have the distributer wires in the right order.

It's getting a spark. I think it has something to do with the fuel though. See, last week it did the same thing and a neight sprayed some "Quick Start" i think in the air intake plenum. Itstarted for a minute. He said that the reason why the car wouldn't start was because it wasn't getting any fuel. He told me to replace the fuel pump which we did. It ran for 2 day now it wont start agiain. Also, no lights

When you turn the ignition on, you should hear a faint wirring noise from the rear of the car, its your fuel pump priming the fuel system.

You changed your fuel filter also correct?

Get a fuel pressure check guage and install on the fuel rail. See if you get fuel pressure when the ignition is turned to "on" If no pressure something in the fuel system is broken unplugged or fuel filter is clogged...

Check all connectors and grounds
