First off, thank you for your time. Our car was running just fine, until my wife went to a friends house. When she got in the car to leave, she turned the key, it fired up and then it just died. This happened six times before it wouldn't fire up at all. Now we are not mechanics and don't have the knowledge that many have, but to us it sound like the fuel pump. If you could let us know if we are on the right path so to help us decide how much this repair is going to cost us.
