I’ve replaced the ignition coil and the fuel pump and had a guy look at the starter. But the car will not start one hundred percent ignition the times.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

If the starter is engaging, I need you to try something. See if the engine will start for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does, then the problem is fuel related. If it doesn't and you know it is getting spark to the plugs, either you have low compression or a timing issue.

Here are a few links that you may find helpful. If it doesn't start with starting fluid, recheck spark and check compression.

Here are a few links that will help when you check for spark.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
