I have a friend with a 2001 Convertible. The other day it acted like it wanted to die, but made it home. They took out the battery had it checked and it was bad, replaced battery and it still doesn't want to start. It tries to turn over, but doesn't start.

I am guessing maybe clogged fuel filter or a fuel problem, but also I am wondering if there is something with the anti-theft system that may be messed up.

Any help or ideas appreciated. Thanks in advance.
