Re: WON'T START
fuel pump could be bad, how old is it and can you hear it running? Fuel filter clean? Is everything grounded? wires and plugs are on secure? Go to ask.com and you will be able to narrow everything down and eliminate certain things. Anything I couldn't figure out on my own I could figure out from that website and I mean EVERYTHING. Also, get a voltmeter and check your wiring and your fuel pump relay good.

Re: WON'T START
as I said, get a voltmeter and check all of your wiring. There are a 100 things it could be and the things I am telling you to check are the basic things to check when the car won't start. Check your grounds to make sure they are good and make sure everything is connected. If you don't have a voltmeter, I have one you can use. It seriously sounds like a bad connection somewhere because the lights are fine when key is in acc and then dies when you turn it over? I didn't catch that in your original post, I thought you said she just died down on you and now won't fire up.
