If not-- Whaaaaap the bottom of fuel tank when someone turns key to "on" - most likely pump will energize and you can start car. If so, you need a new fuel pump.
We know its getting these things because two mechanics tested for them. It's not the fuel pump. And we tried that, it's not the problem. (someone else told us to do that)
