Default Car won't start!

My sisters car would keep tryin to start but just won't start. It would then start once in a while if you come back with a lucky touch and it'll just die while she's driving once in a while. It's a 90 camry just got it out of the shop and replaced a ignition switch which they said would solve the problem but its still happening. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Once it's running, will it try to die when trying to accelerate but still hold idle? I would check the fuel pump.

Once the car starts it's fine then after drivin it for a while it would just sometimes cutoff and won't start again. It tries to start but just won't get that wroom to get it runnin. Then my dad or someone would come back 1-2 days later and it'll start up with no problem stupid Toyotas I told her to get a but she won't listen .

I would still suspect the fuel pump. Other than that, Toyotas of that vintage are prone to dirt/dust in the distributor. Pull the cap and clean the stuff (coil, etc) inside real good with rubbing alcohol and let it dry. Put it back together and see what happens. Good luck.
