2005 DX. Why doesn't it start?

How do you know it is not getting gas? Have you tested for fuel pressure? Does it have spark at the spark plugs? Have you checked for power to the fuel pump? Given that the engine has been replace make sure all the ground wires are attached and tight. I strongly suspect you have a loose ground wire somewhere.

I have a 1997 honda accord ex. No problems with

You probably picked up some "trash" in the tank. There is a screen at the pump intake inside the tank that may have collapsed or become clogged. The fix for this? Pull the fuel pump, clean/replace the screen.

2003 chevy truck wont stay started. Put a new bat in and it ran for about 5 miles and dead. Waited a few seconds and drove few feet and dead. It will start and sit and idle fine until you push on gas...

Start with the simple, if the fuel filter has not been replaced. There may be a good chance that the filter may have gotten to the end of it's life and needs to be replaced. The fuel filter should be replaced 15,000 miles or one a year.

Good luck and keep me posted.

Car stalled and won't start again

Sounds like it might be either the fuel filter or the fuel pump, cause if you ran the tank down, you probably had sludge in the bottom of the tank that you sucked into the engine, you can try using a fuel system cleaner, you may have sucked sludge into the injectors running it, Zmax sells a fuel system cleaner, or there is one called RUN RIGHT, I would try putting some of that in letting it sit a few min then after it sat a few to soak in and break down the sludge, then start the car up, kick your idle up to around 1500 RPM do not go higher then that cause you will damage the engine, try that and see if that works for you, if not then I is probably the fuel pump or filter.
hope this helps.

2001 S-10, Blowing "ECM Batt" fuse after running for about 30 min

that fuse feeds power to fuel pump relay circuit that feeds pump could be defective pump,or damaged circuit wires that shorts out! and not a good idea to put higher fuse in circuit could cause more damage to circuit! but i know when your stuck, u do what it takes,so inspect circuit related to fuse,
