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.
