Slow down there....
So when you turn the key, what happens exactly? Does it crank and then start and then die, or does it not even crank?
There are two basic things that run the car, spark and gas. It sounds like you've changed out most of the electrical stuff, so I'm assuming you've changed out plugs and plug wires. Another thing is to look for a disconnected or corroded ground wire or something like that. Also, have you checked that there is fuel going into the cylinder (or your fuel pump)?
Sorry for this really general answer, but it was pretty hard to read your post.

Take this car to a mechanic. Pronto.
It sounds like you have a MAJOR problem on your hand - it could be a wiring problem, a mechanical problem, or a combination of both. It's obvious you don't know what you're doing as far as the wiring is concerned, and running the car with a blown water pump... well, not a good idea. Without really detailed pictures and a much clearer, thoughtful detailed analysis of the problem, none of us here will be able to help much.
If this car is really "priceless" to you, absolutely run - do not walk - and take this car to a dealer. Maybe an independant mech who specializes in Honda/Acura and can do complicated electrical work.
