Hi my Mom has been having loads of trouble with her car since March of 2008.
1. After it sits a week or more it does not start. She has it started by AAA and they have replaced the battery twice saying it is a bad fuel cell.
2. When she goes out after this and turns off the car it will not start again.
3. When it is towed and the mechanics get to it it starts right up.
4. People have said a bad wire somewhere.
5. People have said a fuel pump
6. People have said a fuel sensor


The last time the mechanic came right out and put some tests to it but nothing shows up.
She is 79 years old and we don't want her getting stuck on the road .

Can you tell us what the problem is. The car is starting fine right now after the tow.
