Fuel filter? Start with what you have: do you have compression? do you have fuel? do you have spark? do you have air? You are likely missing one of those for it not to start at all. gl

Did you make any changes prior to ths problem?
does your fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition key?

If the ignitor were bad you wouldn't have a spark. You did say you checked & it has spark, right?

(Most other carmakers call it an ignition amplifier or something like that.)

I too am questioning the spark. What tests have you done to determine that the spark plugs are sparking?
