My Saturn vue started tunrning the red battery sign on the dashboard, fater 10 minutes idle it turned off. Everything looks fine and it try to start but looks similar as when there is no gas on the tank which is not the case. Took it to the autopart and the computer said :bad voltage regulator (alternator) but the mechanic said bad fuel pump. Replaced the fuel filter and still same. When we pour started fluid on the engine it turns on but then off. Any idea ?

That's a pretty good indication of a pump problem but power and ground arriving at the pump has to be verified first.
