If fuel filter is plugged car will idle but starve for power as it is getting very little fuel, If fuel pump is bad car will wind over but not start " no fuel going to engine " A little trick I use pound on bottom of fuel tank while engine is turning over if engine starts then you know you have a bad fuel pump
