What does it mean when the cars fuel pump does not prime - the car cranks but doesn't start.
The fuel pump fuse is good and this is the first time it's happened. Haven't been able to start it since.

I'm leaning towards - check if the fuel pump is getting power, and if it is, replace fuel pump and filter.
What do you think?

I plugged in the OBD2 scanner - nothing

Thanks for suggestion, belt is fine.

There is a simple relay behind the glove box that controls power to the fuel pump.

Make a basic jumper out of a paper clip and see if you hear the fuel pump spin up.

For me, a Honda fuel pump is never the first suspect.

Thanks for the replies,

The fuel pump has been priming and i started it a few times - in the last 24 hours.
Seems to be intermittent which makes me think that i'd need another tow when it happens again.

Calling a tow truck to drag the car to work and back seems a bit redundant and inefficient....., a taxi or uber might be cheaper.
Very efficient: Order a pizza to be delivered to work and catch a ride with the delivery driver

Save tow fees: Don't drive your car past the end of the driveway until it's fixed



You might toss the main and pump relays at it? Those are probably cheaper than a tow truck
Would be nice to actually be able to diagnose and prove exactly what the true problem is, not just guess and toss parts

my next suspect would be the cam or crank sensor

don't mean to be a sarcastic ***...but have you checked your fuel level?
