Had a bad mechanic who crossed wires on starter now car is having lots of problems goes from one thing to the next after this I put it in the shop they put a new starter on it car turned over then died. Mechanics shop said they checked the fuel pump and it did not have enough pressure.

It was going to be very pricey to fix. so I went to get it last night and was able to get it started and drive for about 6 miles then things went dem and it died, seems like maybe alternator now but that would have nothing to do with fuel pump or pressure, I think when the crappy mechanic messed up on the first new starter maybe fried the computer or something because it is sending lots of confusing messages not starting then starting not drive-able then drive-able.
