I have a 2000 Honda CRV that stalled in an intersection while turning left from a stop. Otherwise car had been running fine. Thought for sure it was the fuel pump as it didn't seem to be running when I turned the ignition on. Today I replaced the fuel pump, strainer and fuel filter. There is fuel in the tank. While I can now here the pump run when I turn the ignition on, the car still will not start. Any ideas?

Check the fuel pressure if it's within specs and if the injectors are pulsing.

Do you have spark?

Apparently not. I replaced the distributor cap, rotor and plugs today and it starts right up thanks

Appreciate you sharing the solution.
I have attached the distributor diagrams for any one else that might come across the same issue.

Here is also a guide on how to check for spark:
