It sounds like it may be the fuel pump. When you turn the key to run you should here it prime, it would be a hum and it should shut off after a couple of seconds. If you don't here it check the fuses to see if the pump fuse is blown, and if your not sure if it's the fuel pump spray some starting fluid down the intake and try starting it. If it starts briefly and dies its probably the fuel pump. If it doesn't start its probably not the fuel pump.

Thank you so much for this advice!!!!that I'm going to go try this today. I have been worried to death &scared to log back in on here because I was afraid the first comment would be something next to IMPOSSIBLE for me. since my husband died its been two things after two things. Thank you again.

Welp it's not the fuel pump because I hear it come on and go off. What else can I try?

You can try checking for spark. Pull one of the plug wires off one of the spark plugs once you have done this get a screwdriver that fits in the end of the spark plug wire and put the screwdriver in the end of the wire as far as it will easily go, and set the screwdriver so there is about a one centimeter gap between the shaft of the driver and a metal surface on the engine, then get someone to crank the engine and watch for a spark if you don't see one try readjusting the screwdriver, it should be a bright spark. If you have an old spark plug for the car, or if you can take one out of the engine, plug it into the wire, and set the plug on a metal surface on the engine and see if you have spark it would be a bright spark. Hope this helps!
