Default 98 Honda Accord v6 cranks over but won't start..

it all started last week when I was driving it home from work.. the car out of nowhere turned off on me.. I was able to park it on the side of the road.. I tried to start it again but it wouldnt start I could hear it trying to start.. I sat there for about 3 minutes with the key turned over and tried it Start it again and it did..I went home and parked it.. and an hour later I tried to start it again and it wouldn't start.. it cranked over but won't start.. it's been sitting there for a week.. my bf replaced the fuel pump and distributor cap and rotor.. the battery is new.. I had the spark plugs and wires replace last year.. but it still won't start.. we noticed that there's no fuel pressure when we turn the key over..

what could it be?

Can you/he test for voltage at the fuel pump.....when you turn the key to "on"/pos II the fuel pump should run (get 12v) for ~3 seconds. You might be able to "listen" for it to prime from inside the car if you turn off anything that makes noise - radio, blower motor, ect.

I agree, I'm just a fan of testing first.

Might be a broken timing belt. Had a Nissan do the same thing and that is what it ended up being.
