[QUOTE="I_like_turtlez, post: 16987934, member: 204906"] When you changed the fuel filter you lost fuel line pressure, all you had to do was cycle the key about 5 times to have the pump produce the volume needed to build pressure again You also answered your own problem, your tank has old bad gas in it; typically after 90-120 days gas becomes gummy & stale without additives causing the exact symptom you described(your tank could very well be ruined causing the pump pickup to become clogged) This is why you should never throw parts @ a vehicle.. you already knew the starting and ignition circuits were functioning; the PATS would've kept the car from starting at all Always use logical deduction and start at the most simple point: -You have electrical in the starting/ignition circuits -You have airflow -You have (decent enough)compression since the engine runs Therefore the problem must be fuel related [/QUOTE]
