Even though you replaced the fuel filter , it still passes dirt through the filtration system , so what i recommend is 2cups of acetone 1 cup for 1/2 a tank of fuel and if its full then two cups , this solution will clean your fuel injectors , if you use those advertised chemicals that clean fuel injector , those have a chemical varnish which causes to gum up ,but i assure you acetone is pure alcohol and it will not harm your engine , you will see an improvement in your fuel milage as well .

SOURCE: Change spark plugs and now car wont start.....1994 ford tarus

Do you have the "firing order" correct? In other words, is each spark plug wire going to the same cylinder it was on before you changed the plugs? If you have done nothing else but changed the plugs then this is the most likely problem.
If when you try to start the car it backfires through the exhaust or backfires through the intake. Then this " IS" the problem. Good luck.

SOURCE: 2004 ford tarus wont start but cranks over... fuel pump or filter?

It could be a fuel system concern. I would check the fuel pressure with a gauge. You can check the fuel pump by sound.. if its coming on. Have someone turn the key to the run postion and listen near the fuel tank to hear a slight whine noise that will last about 3 sec. If you hear a noise..thats a good sign that power is getting to the pump...but the pump still could be faulty. If you hear nothing..its probably the pump. If you think its the fuel filter...just replace it...that's the best way to see if its the filter.

95 ford tarus wagon 3.8 won't start. Air Flow Sensor?

u may need to have ur computer reset, u dont say if u have any warning lights on the dash. other fuelling system sensors tie in with the air flow sensors. plug ur diagnostic port in at a garage and see what fault code reads.

97 Tarus wont start

recheck spark by putting a plug into one of the plug wires and place on valve cover, crank engine and see saprk in that plug. check fuel pressure during cranking to verify fuel supply. If you have no fuel pressure check fuses and fuel pump relay, in fuse box and power distribution box under the hood. If all are good check for power at the fuel pump connector with the key in start position, in run position the power will only be there for about 5 seconds, you are correct with fuel and spark it should run, let me know what you find
