I replaced fuel filter and plugs, car started ran for a fewminutes. I shut it off and retsarted it several times. Started to run rough, then finally wouldn't start. Any ideas?

I'd focus on the Ignition Control Module and coil.
It ran fine for a few minutes than ran rough, finally it quit.still has spark, cranks kind of like its starved for fuel
It's possible that the "new" fuel filter is faulty.
NEW sometimes stands for: Never Ever Worked.
I would try another filter but make certain you install with the FLOW arrow in the appropriate orientation.
Could it be fuel pump? I had my wife turn the key on and I didn't hear the pump kick on?
Crack open the top nut on the fuel filter. Put a rag around it, have your wife bump the starter (very very briefly) and you watch.
Fuel should soak the rag in that brief time. If it doesn't, diagnose fuel pump circuit.
Make sure you do this outside and use exstream caution.
Did you test all under hood and under dash fuses, with a test light or multimeter?
Changing fuel filters often causes the CEL to come on. Reset the ECM with a code reader or scan tool.
All fuses are fine
