Your fuel system will be nice and clean now.....

At least she didn't fill a diesel with gas. That'll blow the head right off the motor.

I think Hondas have a drain bolt in the tank, or they used to I know.

I'd drain it, pull the line off the fuel rail and let the pump blow the line clean and reconnect, then spray start it with some ether so it'll start (probably have to dry the plugs out first) and run long enough to clear any diesel residue from the rail and injectors.

For you others that said possibly EGR problem on others acting like this, if you can start the car by holding the throttle open (as if it was flooded) and keep it running by feathering the throttle, but it dies when you take your foot off the gas, it could well be an EGR or IAC problem (both create a large vacuum leak/lean condition that it can't overcome at idle or startup.)

If nothing, you probably have a fuel delivery issue.
