You could have a bad fuse for the fuel pump. On my 89 Legend when the fuel
pump fuse went bad, the check engine light would stay on... (and you
couldn't crank the car, on that one.) A bad main relay can cause all kinds
of problem though, because it powers not only the fuel pump but also the
computer.

First thing you need to do is recover that error code. Check out the PDF
referenced here:
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/faq.html#retrieve

An error 16 is normally associated with a bad Main Relay.

Main Relays don't get "dead", they just get cracked solder.
