I got in my vehicle the other day and it would turn over without a problem. The engine is getting fire and fuel but vehicle will not start. I had a diagnostic test done and it said it was the EGR Valve I replaced it and still wouldn't start. Could it be the fuel filter? Could you tell me what it might be?

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
