Just happened to my daughter this morning. She thought she ran out of gas, but she didn't. She pulled over and after 10min she was able to start the car and go. She still had 1/2 tank of gas.

Happened to me today was running the gas a little low today going uphill but no sputters just suddenly died. Towed it to a gas station gassed up and still no start. It sputters for a sec then nothing back to cranking. Don’t have the tools to check anything rn. I can hear fuel relay and pump kick on. My dads telling me I burnt the fuel pump. Even though it’s kickin on, it’s damaged enough to not provided pressure. I will try process of elimination tomorrow or what I can my tools is at home and car is at gfs house. Haven’t checked for spark, fuel or compression yet just tried cranking due to me being limited to what I can do without tools

I changed my fuel pump spark plugs and coil packs and I am still having the same issue that y'all are having. I have an 02 honda civic ex and it randomly won't start and dies while driving. Could it be the ecm? I have lost power while driving a couple times as well.. just like a jerk or lurch...
