Default heres a question

okay my luda only has 55,000 mile on it is it normal for the fuel pump to go out at this low of a mileage also when the car stopped working right before that it was like sputtering and then just died i tried to start it same thing and then it just wouldnt start again does this sound like a fuel pump problem and if it is what kind of fuel pump do u recommend so that this issue will not happen at such a low mileage thank you all have a great memorial day today.

when was the last time the cap/rotor/plugs/wires were replaced? what happens if you turn your key to on (all the dash lights come on) but don't start it, and back, do that twice, then try to start it? when the dash lights are on, do you hear the fuel pump priming?

i've never had a fuel pump issue on any of the 3 hondas i've had. i think they're only an issue if you're car is heavily modded.

That's why you start with the the cheaper stuff first when you're not sure what what is wrong.
