I was driving and my car shut off. So I put it in gear and it started back up. When I put it back in gear after starting it up it shut off again and it wouldn't this time start back up. The fuel pump does work cause I had that checked, but when we try to start it up it just keep turning and turning and turning and won't catch.

Do below

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -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, ECM, Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

My mechanic did disconnect the spark plugs, did everything you said to do and it is getting fire and gas but it still won't crank.

Tell your mechanic to check engine compression and to verify the valve and ignition timing this is all you got left to check
