Default 93 Regal GS won't start...

Daughters 93 Regal GS, 3.8.
Was running fine & starts quickly.
She went to leave church the other day & cranked a few seconds, let off, retried & it cranked a few seconds before it started. Seemed to run normally at that point. Drove three blocks down the road to a traffic signal. She stopped & it died & would not restart. I tried several times & nothing. Had half a tank of fuel. The next morning I spun it a few times & it caught & started. Drove it 3 blocks to where she was & it died. Restarted after spinning over for a few seconds & took her down to where I had left my truck. Just before we got there it died & I coasted it to where it was originally. Has not started since. Can hear fuel pump energize & run for about 3 seconds & then shut off. Changed fuel filter. It was full of crud so I was hopeful, but that wasn't it. Pulled a plug & plug was dry. Checked spark (put wire back on plug & had daughter crank it while I held plug to exhaust manifold) & no spark...
She doesn't have a lot of money to spend & I don't have a lot to help with.
Where to start? ECM? ICM?


There is a running local 93 Park Avenue with a supercharged 3.8 they are parting out. Will the ECM & ICM interchange if I change out the chip in it?


Thanks for any help
Vance

I just posted similar issues with ours. Happens on a daily basis and cannot figure it out for anything! No one has responded to me, so maybe someone will respond to you.
Good luck. I'll keep checking your post to see what suggestions you get.
