A new thread would be a good idea.

Has the ignition system been eliminated as the cause of the shutdowns? See posts# 56,57,60.
Immediately after a shutdown, before the coil has change to cool, pull the big wire out of the center of the coil and hold it near ground (the engine) and check for a blue white spark while cranking the engine. A remote start switch (or a kid to turn the key) is handy for this test.
This is an easy test.

BTW when you posted on this forum you sort of did "call a mechanic". Lots of them in fact.

TRUE GRIT
I have not checked for Spark, but did just replace the coil...I'll still do the spark test, but still pretty sure it is the fuel pump. But I'll test spark before buying a new one.

And yes...I suppose you are right, I put out the call to all the mechanics on this forum and learning a hell of a lot more than I would have if I called someone to come and fix it for me.

Thank you again to everyone here!
