92 lumina wont start	Sign In

I have a 92 Lumina. Bought it drove it about 6 miles home. It died, wouldnt start again, ran battery dead trying. Next day it started a total of 8 times. Died again. One the 3rd day it started. Drove it 2 miles. Died again. Towed it home. It will start right now, afraid to drive it anywhere. Everyone says fuel pump. Any ideas?

Thanks but we have checked all the basic's like that. It gets fire, its getting fuel. Can hear the the fuel pump working. Been told that the pump isnt getting enough pressure, and its dying out once it warms up. Sorry forgot to mention that in the previous post. Never heard that one before myself. Im worndering if its the coil pack or just needing plugs and wires.

Guess: It's probaby not ignition parts if you know you get spark. It could be fuel pressure and you could verify the lack of that by spraying starting fluid in the throttle body when it doesn't do anything and then know that lack of fuel was the problem. You may hear the pump but it might not be right. KOEO (key on, engine off) you should hear it build up pressure and shut down. If it just buzzes away it's not getting to a minimum pressure required to start and hence not run,
