It turns but not start, the fuel pump comes on, I changed the fuel filter
i dont think it is the pass lock because the security light does not come on. It just seems like the car is not getting gas. The pass lock did mess up before so what I would do is turn the ignition to the on postition and let it sit for ten min. And the turn it off wait a few seconds the it would start right up, but like I said the security light is not on. I am usally good at fixing automobiles but this one has me stump. NEED HELP

Before doing anything, check to see if you are getting spark and fuel to the engine. One will most likely be missing and then you can focus on that circuit.
