Well it sounds like its not getting fuel. Do you hear the pump turn on at all? If you dont its the pump if it does come on then check the filter either way you might wanna change the filter its something cheap and a lot of people over look it until it causes a problem

x2! Hopefully you are hearing the pump and its just the filter. That tends to happen. I'm changing mine this spring when I get it out of storage

Don't guess about your fuel issues. Go out and get a fuel pressure test gauge and verify the health of your fuel pump. There is no need to guess.

A new filter is always a good idea though.
