The car started right up, but after I backed it out of the driveway it died. It would not start back up. We replaced the fuel filter and it started right up. But while
backing it down the driveway, it died again. It does
not want to start. It will crank, but not turn over.

Lets do below to find out if its fuel or spark related problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -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
