Are you using an adapter harness? Does the ecu work with teh s300 on an OBD1 car still?

If the pump will not prime it sounds like the ecu is damaged.

Well will the hondata still be good if I buy another ecu?Because the red light is just staying on and not turning off,even when I put it in another car.I dont wanna waste money on a new ecu if it still isn't gonna work

The lights are not a good indicator. Until you try it in a known good ecu, it is hard to say for sure.
