2002 Taurus V6 142000 miles. Was driving at the time ran fine, no symptoms previously until it died... While at a stop sign started to hesitate exactly like it was running out of fuel, would barely stay running.... nursed it about 1/2 mile then just stalled completely. Initially I guessed bad fuel pump, but you CAN hear the fuel pump operating when you turn key into run position. I never heard of dirty filter causing a vehicle to not start at all, or is that possible?
