Default Car won't start.

Car won't start, turns over fine, won't start. Got about 120,000 miles, ran fine yesterday. Have not checked anything yet, gotta go to work in other car. Will check for fire and fuel, mybe an ignitor module, what are symptoms when that goes out?

Check the ignition first before you check for fuel components. Most likely the distributor, starter, or wires.

Checked out the ignition, good spark. Got it started after pumping gas a bit, I think it is the fuel filter, which is due to be changed anyway

Definitely replace that fuel filter, maybe run some injector cleaner too.
