Is it possible that your fuel filter is so clogged up that your car wont start. My car is stalled up on Konosha Pass in Colorado. All of a sudden it just lost all power. It had done this before but we have been able to start it back up right away. It turns over but it will not start. As of this time we have no access to our vehicle so I can not try and start it. I am just curious if a fuel filter can be clogged up enough to prevent your car from starting.?
Note: we have never changed the fuel filter and we have had the car for almost 4 years.
my brother in law had the same thing happen to him and he replaced the filter and everything was fine.??
 
The filter should be replaced every 30,000 miles or less. In 4 years you may have clogged the filter.
