Are you kidding? Change the pump then the filter before verifying fuel pressure! This is some of the worst advice I have seen here. Throwing money at it and hoping it's going to get fixed, is just wrong.

If you believe it is fuel you need to verify it, you have to get a fuel pressure gauge and connect it to the fuel rail. You will want one with a long enough hose on it so you can tape it to the windshield. Start and drive the car and record your pressure when you have the problem. Your base pressure should be approx. 39 psi at idle. Also when the car doesn't start, did you listen for the fuel pump?

y not just change the filter if that dont work then change the pump save him money if is just the filter

Making him spend money if it is not the pump. This is not how to diagnos a problem.
