Default 02 Accord 2.3l - Fuel Gauge stopped working and Motor died.

A few days ago, I ran my 02 Accord very low on fuel before refilling. Leaving the gas station, I noticed my fuel gauge was still registering as empty. Yesterday, as I drove back from the Supermarket, the car lost power and died. Tried restarting a few times and got it to start a couple of times but was barely running at very low RPM and little throttle response so had AAA tow it back to my home.

​​​​​​Found a reference to check Fuel Pump fuse #1 and fuse at spot #13 (STS?) and both were good. Also saw reference that there's a Main or PGNFI Relay under the DS Dash that might possibly be the issue other than the Fuel Pump itself possibly being bad. I have a Pick n Pull ten minutes away that I could get a Relay from to try eliminating that but figured that I'd ask post my issue/symptoms here to get some diagnosis tips to try and help with troubleshooting my problem.

How is your fuel pump? Pump that move liquids burn up very quickly when they start moving air.
