98 Pontiac Sunfire - Started and drove to work today as normal. Tried to start the car an hour later and it cranked and turned over but would not stay running. I'm told it may be a clogged fuel filter. ...

Try fuel filter if you haven't changed it recently. It is a place to start. If you have not tuned it up recently do that also. Always do preventitive maintenance first before thinking its a major problem.

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.
