IT'S ALIVE!!!! well sort of. I was under the car again replacing the fuel filter. I noticed that the line that comes out of the filter and connects to the steel line that runs up to the motor had a worn spot in it where it had rubbed against another line. I put the new filter in and the car coughed a few times then started. During the short time that it ran, I went around to the back of the car (still jacked up in the air) and looked under it at that worn spot on the line. It was slowly leaking which probably was letting air into the lines which combined with an old fuel filter wouldn't let the car start. Shortly after I saw this, the car died. I'll get another line and replace it and I'm sure that will fix this problem. I didn't see this earlier because the hole wasn't visible until I disconnected the line from the filter.
PKRWUD: Thanks for all of your help and hopefully this will be the end of this problem for me.
