My moms car will turn over but it will not start and she bought a new battery a year ago. She has had the car for 15 years and this is the first time this has happened to her. My neighbor said he thinks it could be her fuel filter. I'm not good with cars and my mom is disabled and she don't have much money. I hope maybe you can help.
Thank you so much

Cranks but no start condition:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 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.
