I put gas in, half hour later car stalled. Next day the engine light went on. Service engine soon light. Next day, stopped completely. Seems like it is not receiving any gas. Lots of electrical power works, doesnt appear to be getting any gas. I've added gas deicer.

Could the problem be the gas filter or the pump. Where do I find the location of the Gas FILTER. Can't seem to locate it.

Need to listen to the fuel pump if coming on when 1st key on and when cranking
check for fuel pressure
check for spark
with the mileage on the car I would also check timing belt
and since you had check engine light on need to get it scanned for codes
(if you have an access to an OBDII reader )

A fuel filter can be found at most auto repair stores. Ie: auto zone, oreilley

fuel pumps however are harder to find. My guess however is that your fuel pump has problems. My escort is almost 11 years old and just got its first replacement fuel filter and it still got gas to the engine. It was just harder for it to start.
