Same problem as other guy. Drives fine then will not start.

I had it towed to Ford Dealer and it started and they said might need fuel pump ($ 900.00), car could drive so I took it to another place and they said since it was driving them didn;t feel right about putting in a new fuel pump.
I have drove it for 4 days and it did it again this morning.

When the car won't start, you need to check to see if there is spark and fuel to the engine. One will most likely be missing. From there, we will know which system to focus on.

How do I do that? It has a new battery.
Last week when it did the same thing one of the guys here at work said it was not getting fuel. I had to call a tow truck that time and the guy jumped it with the BIG battery on the wrecker and it started. The wrecker guy said I needed a new battery and I drove it right over and got a new one put in. Then 3 days later it did the same thing and had it towed to Ford dealer. It started there.
And now it has done it again

Is the vehicle presently not starting? If that is the case, get starting fluid and see if it will try to start using that. Let me know what you find.

That's it for now. By doing this, it will tell me if it is a fuel related problem or ignition related.
