Ok first of all on a 2000 civic the fuel filter is on the fire wall on the pasenger side of the car, it is a pretty easy change, you need a 14 mm wrench, a 17 mm socket or wrench and a 10 mm socket to remove the filter from the mount.
When the car is running is the check engine light on?
Turn the car on and make sure the engine light lights when your turn the key.
Hondas have had some problems lately with their ingnitions switches also, they will crank the car but not allow power to vital relays.
Make sure while your cranking the starter the dash warning lights light up.
And it might also be your ect (coolant temp sensor) telling the computer that the car is hot when in fact its not, this will give you a leaner starting condition.
