Default Car won't start HElp!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 94 sc 300. I have already replaced brakes, rotors, done a full tune uo including air filter and had a fresh oil change. After the oil change the car drove prefectly until the car just shut of while I was in traffic. I replaced the fuel pump and it still doesn't start. When I sprayed starter fluid the car ran like crap but it turned over and then shut off again leading my mechanic to believe that it is a fuel issue. I freaking baffled because the mechanic is now telling me that it may be my injector driver. I don't know what to do because money is running low. Does anyone have any experience with this issue because I am on my last leg.

Try this 12v fuel pump mod, deff worth trying as it is free, easy, and not harmful.
