H ave change fuel pump, fuel fiter, and coil. Each time the car runs for a week and half, then does not start. I think my next step is computer, unless you have a idea why it will not start. Where the computer located on the car?

Next time is refuses to start do below basic stuffs -don't wait to determine what's causing it

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
