Replaced fuel pump on 97 acura tl. car still won't start

Check fuel filter. It may require replacing. If it has not been replaced since new, I would recommend doing so regardless.

Fuel pump is inside the Fuel tank. You have to remove the fuel tank first to get to the Fuel pump.

It sounds more like you need a new car.

Check for broken, loose, or disconnected wires to your PGM-F1 and ignition unit. If there's none, check for the functionality of these control units. Check also if your camshaft position sensor works.
You may also want to check your spark plugs gaps, fuel filter, pump, and fuel lines.

I have done all the necessary steps to drop the tank but it is stuck like there is glue. I've used my body weight to pull down the tank and no luck. Even a pry bar too.....is there any other solution?

well you have to drop the gas tank to do this there is to straps that hold it up.

I have helped many Honda/Acura owners on this issue. Many mechanics will replace many parts prior to solving this problem, which then creates unnecessary repairs and spending. So here is my diagnosis: Notice if your speedometer drops to zero when your engine dies while driving. If this happens its your ignition switch failing. Ignition switches in Honda/Acura vehicles years 97-02 encounter faulty or shorted internal contacts. This causes premateur electrical failure to vital engine electrical parts, causing vehicle to stall intermittedly. A recall has been in place since 2002, approximately 1.3mil vehicles are affected, call your local honda/acura dealer for info and possible free repair or replace the ignition switch yourself. Hopefully my info helps you!!

the fuel filter for this is in the gas tank, it is part of the fuel pump module.

check feul main relay it happen to me

more so the DFI module under the coils also swapp or change fuel pump relay with another relay in fuse box under bonnet in case relay issue the other relay to check by doing this is also the EFI MAIN relay near other relay. have seen these relays be overlooked many times.
