Answer
Hi Ken, This sounds like you need a new fuel pump to me. I would test for power at the pump in the tank and if you have power replace the pump. There is this trick also...have someone crank the engine while you bang on the fuel tank with a large hammer. Be sure to really hit the bottom of the tank. If the car now starts replace the pump.
