I ran out of gas in my car listed above EX model, I put about 2 gallons of gas (i was told the gas could have been a little old) in and drove it less than a mile and it sputtered to a stop. Now it won't start, even after putting about 5 more gallons of fresh gas. The engine sounds like it wants to but it just wont turn over. I checked the fuses they are okay. So what could it be?

Yep, I towed it to the Honda dealership and the replaced the fuel pump. So its back on the road. That is until I get the parts for strut replacement and engine mounts.
