Car wouldn't start, originally suspected distributor, ran tests, checked emergency shut off switch, (it was pressed down, meaning pump was shut off), turned ignition on no noise from pump, took to shop, shop replaced: fuel pump, fuel injection, filter and strainer. Started fine for 2 days, died last night. Checked again, no noise from pump and switch was again released, button was down. Reset button, almost started. Any ideas anyone?

Welcome to the forum. I'd check voltage to and from the shut-off switch. White wire with yellow tracer is voltage from the fuel pump relay to shut-off switch. Blue wire carries voltage from the shut-off switch to pump. Engine cranking, check for voltage on those wires.
