The car jerk a little like it wanted to start but didn't. What could be stopping it from starting. It jerk a little so it must be getting gas. 98 ford escortMy car wont start, I change the fuel filter, spark plugs wires n nothing?Is the check engine light on? If so, have you had an OBDII scan? What codes does it have? Have you tested the fuel pump? It could be bad. Get a fuel pressure test done. Your local auto parts store may have fuel pressure tester to rent.
Also check the air filter, it may be clogged.
