1995 Pontiac Transport mileage: 86,000. Goes back several months along the lines of the following: 3/24 Died while driving (started after several attempts); 3/25 Would not start. (Same); 3/27 Would not start (same); 3/29 Died while driving. (Same); 3/31 Would not start. (Same); 4/1 Died while at stop light (same); 4/2 Died while driving (same). Sometimes it will start after trying a few times; sometimes you wait a few hours. Mechanic said there was nothing wrong with fuel pump. Could he be wrong? What do you suggest?

The fuel pump needs to be checked when the no-start condition occurs. (Obviously, if the pump is checked while the car is running it will check okay.) If the pump checks okay, then check for spark at the spark plugs.
