Will not start

Thank you for the response. You've confirmed what we initially told mechanic to check, before they decided that it had to be the fuel pump. Going to relay this message to them in the morning. Thank you.

Did this work? I'm having the same problem.

I had the mechanic replace the ignition switch, which made sense to me also, considering the age of the car and the amount of miles (194,000). But, it turned out to be a bad ground. The mechanic said he found the loose connection under the driver side carpet. Car has been running perfectly since then. Thank you for your response.

It took three weeks for the mechanic to finally find the problem, but it turned out to be a bad ground (combination ground, as the mechanic called it). The car has been perfect since then. This ground was located under my driver side carpet. Thank you for your response.
