Good luck.

check your catalytic converter, and check to see if you have oil in the water or visa versa

im not 100% sure on what may have caused your problem at first but def. check all you fuses ie: under the hood from where the pos. cable goes to the fuse box and all your fuses inside the car as well if they are good than theres a good chance that you have an overload or open"short" in the wiring or a bad ground.. or possibly even the pos. grounding out...

The relay or fuel pump is going bad. Probably a fuel pump.

Mechanical Fuel Pump REMOVAL & INSTALLATION The fuel pump is located on the passengers side of the engine towards the front of the car. Fig. 1: Fuel system component layout — carbureted models
Fig. 2: Mechanical fuel pump assembly mounting — carbureted models

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the fuel pump cover.
2. Clamp the fuel lines closed with fuel line clamps or equivalent, to prevent fuel from running out. Wrap a rag around the fuel lines and disconnect them from the fuel pump. NOTE: When disconnecting the fuel lines, twist and slide them off to avoid damage.
   
3. Remove the fuel pump retaining bolts and remove the pump from the engine. To Install:
   
4. Clean the gasket mating surfaces and using a new gasket, install the fuel pump in position on the block.
5. Tighten the fuel pump retaining bolts to 17 ft. lbs. (24 Nm).
6. Reconnect the fuel lines and make sure that they are tightly clamped. Do not over tighten the clamps or you will damage the hoses.
7. Connect the negative battery cable and start the vehicle. Check for leaks at the fuel pump.

Sounds like a plugged filter. But it is internal. You have to remove the transmission and disassemble it to replace the filter.

when you say wont start you mean the engine spins over but wont run? if so, check the MAIN RELAY, real common. left front area under dash or left of drivers feet area. Sometimes if you rap on it, it may start. I cant tell you what to look for, but find a service book and check it out.

Does it run bad? It could be a poor ground on the same circuit causing it to illuminate. If you replace the computer, it will clear any save data. Try checking all your fuse's( under the dash and under the hood). Good luck.

Have you checked the transmission fluid? I believe the problem is within the transmission, because it wont go into gear. A whining noise, or high pitch noise, can be caused by low transmission fluid, which allows air to get in the transmission lines, or it could be a bad transmission pump. This is for a automatic transmission, since it is what I believe that you have in your car.

change or check the plugs

I think main(fuel pump) relay on all Honda's located under the dash , driver side , if you look from under the dash it's close to the fender but deep , very hard to reach , small hands will do.
