You may be dealing with a different issue
lets try and do some test to determine what is the cause of no start

if not sure how to do any of the tests you can check our video collection as it has a lot of info and it show you how to do it

1st need to check for spark
2nd turn key on do you hear the fuel pump coming on
check for fuel and fuel pressure
always check fuses before replacing any parts
let me know what is missing

I have already checked for spark and there was nice spark fuses and relays seem to be in order, I checked the inertia switch and it was fine I checked fuel pressure at thr fuel rail and got nothing I removed the gas cap and listened and could not hear the fuel pump, but I was wondering if a plugged fuel filter could stop the pump, I wold like to know before I remove the fuel tank to inspect the pump,
Thanks Again

Fuel filter will not cause the pump not to work
if have no fuel pressure and all fuses and relays
ok check for power and ground at the fuel pump and suspect bad fuel pump and need to be removed and replaced
good luck
