My car has a hard time starting. We thought it was a fuel pump so we replaced it. It ran ok for a while but started having a hard time starting. Then it started dying while I was driving. Sometimes it would start back up and run for a while. Now it won't start at all. It does turn over. The service engine light has never come on. I have had it plugged into a computer to try and read codes and everything comes up ok. It acts like it is not getting any fuel.

Hi:
First, check the fuel pump pressure. Many parts stores will lend or rent the gauge. Here is a video showing how to do it.

Let me know what you find.
