Cranks over but won't start. Not getting gas threw the fuel real. Changed fuel pump and filter. Will start with a
little startting fluid but will quit as soon as it runs out of startting fluid. Thanks

IF you have no fuel at the fuel rail, either you have a plugged fuel filter or the pump isn't working. Check to make sure the fuel pump is getting power and running. Also, see if there is fuel pressure before the filter.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
