My car wouldn't fully start like it wasn't getting any gas. It acted like it wanted to fire up, but that was only the gas in the lines being ran out. It sat for four days and then started up. Drove it the next day and it stopped again with the same results. What could be the problem?

Check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it.

It could be the fuel pump that is failing, here is a video that lets you know what you are in for to change it. Its not the same car but basically the same procedure.
