UPDATE:
Garage still can't get it to start, still pushing to replace the starter.
Garage saying they tried the fuel pump and it worked.
Garage saying it was not showing any codes. Now, this last one simply confuses me because the check engine light had been on for a long time prior to this so there should have been something, even if not related to the present problem. This suggests a battery disconnect, but that would be an entirely different set of symptoms.
It's got rust issues and other old car problems, so my son (it's his car) is very resistant to trying anything more than a few hundred in repairs--especially experimental parts-jockeying.
