ignition , fuel pump issue?

[gumby]

car cranks wont turn over. checked for spark. heard weird noise come from fuel pump. checked fuel pump fuse. checked line for pressure. seemed to have no pressure. thought faulty gauge tank empty. added gas cranked several times started and ran. next day same problem changed fuel filter. cranked several times heard fuel pump kick in started and ran. next day same issue changed fuel pump relay no result. now at mechanics. ran for several minutes and died. now he says has no spark? gave him spare coil pack.

what are the possibilities?

ignition problem?fuel system problem?something affecting both?

he believes its something affecting both or 2 separate fuel/ignition issues combined.

you have no fuel pressure at all? did you check for any kinks?noises from fuel pump are usually screams of death.

There's a good chance that the ignition switch is bad causing multiple problems. Also check all the grounds.
