Ford Taurus Fuel Filter Question...?

I changed the fuel filter on my '01 Ford Taurus today. I popped the button up on the Emergency Fuel Shutoff as per the online instructions. When done, I pushed the button back down but the car will not start. It sounds like it is out of gas. Is there some sort of "reset" that needs to be done so that the car will start? Thank you!

    turn the key on and off 10 times 5 seconds each that should prime your fuel lines if that doesnt work add more gas and repeat

  • Put the truck in nutral then try starting it. If that doesn't work turn the shut off switch back off then wait 30-45 seconds and turn it back on..hope this helps.
