My Husband has a 1997 Ford Escort LX. He pulled out of the driveway the other day in reverse, Switched to drive & It shut off. It has not started since. It DOES turn over. I have just replaced the spark plugs & Wires today & Still nothing. We put starting fluid in the air filter & We have also listened & It sounds like the fuel pump IS working. Also jumped the car & Nothing. Can you please help us to figure out what could be wrong? Could it maybe be fuel filter?

Check your timing belt. Cause it could have broke.

Check the fuel pressure and the fuel lines.
