I had just filled up the gas and drove off from the service station. Suddenly the engine shuts down and will nor start up again. I left it overnight. It started up the following morning. Later in the evening, the same thing happened again. The fuel filter was changed but the engine still will not start. What is the problem and what parts will have to check or buy?

Do you have a check engine light on?

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem

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.
