It is a user error; the 996 has no code for a bad fuel pump; the correct diagnostic tests for a bad fuel pump is the check its delivery rates and pressure.

I’m not a mechanic but I’m glad my guess was on the money. It started once for about 2 seconds then died. Subsequent attempts failed to start the car. Hence, I guessed that it must be fuel delivery issue. It started due to what ever amount that was left in the system before I shut off the car earlier from the last drive. 

 

There was no warning what so ever. I had to towed it to a shop and $700 later replaced.

Are you sure you weren't out of gas? It's happened before...996 is known for fuel gauge issues (especially if it's a C4)...
