have you checked the coil pack? as the coil pack provides the spark and if the fuel pump dont work then the battery has died due to trying to start the car up. check your relays aswel

He's changed the coil. Was among the first things he changed.

You'll know if the pump is priming as you'll hear it when you put the key in the ignition, can you hear it do that? No battery would mean no lights on the dash either

If the fuel pump is not priming or running then the fuel pump relay could have failed.
