Were you driving it and it went dead before you replaced the fuel pump? Or did you replace the fuel pump because you tried to crank it and it would not start?
I replaced it because it wouldn't star ...my friend said that was his best guess
Do you hear the fuel pump priming when you turn the key to the on position? It should stop priming at about the same time your check engine light goes out. If it's not priming I would check the main fuel relay. Accords tend to be known for them going bad.
I'm actually planning on changing it tomorrow but I case that's not the problem any thing else you can think of?
I would remove and clean/inspect the spark plugs. They might be fouled out with gas due to all the cranking. With them removed I would crank it over a few times to blow excess fuel out of cylinder. Reinstall them and try again to start it. Have you checked for blown fuses? Also use a timing light to make sure all of the plugs are firing.
No blown fuses I don't have a tool to remove the spark plugs any suggestions on an equivalent
Is there a way to tell if the main relay is bad via visual inspection
Turn your key to just the on position. Do you hear the fuel pump priming for a few seconds and then turning back off? If so your relay is operating properly. If not it could either be bad relay or bad fuel pump. But if you have already replaced the pump then it's a relay issue.
Ok thank you I'll let you know tomorrow if it worked ...how much would a main relay cost
Twenty to thirty dollars on line.
Where is the main relay located

I changed the main relay and got it running but on the way to work my radiator hose blew so I fixed it and refilled my fluid but I think I've got radiator fluid in my distributed is that bad?
If the inside of your dist got wet your car would not run or would run very poorly. How is it running?

I changed my main relay and my fuel pump. Still no start. My fix was something so easy it was crazy. I changed my negative wire on the battery and sanded down all connection points. Hooked it back up and my accord fired up immediately.
