Intermittent no starts (after new fuel filter)

[munkyshet]

Well, all of the sudden, one day she just quits. No warning, just a blank starter crank. New plugs, wires, oil, filter, fuel filter, fuel pump was verified working, fuel pressure verified, all connections checked (as far as I can see), and she's dead Jim. Someone has to have dealt with this before. No explanation on my end. It's also making one hell of a scrape on turn over.

Scrape?

Sounds like the start is off. Either needs to be shimmed or needs to have shims removed.

That could be why it's not turning? A skipping of the starter?
