I have put everything back as it was with the new fuel filter. I tried turning the key in on position for 3-5 times and the car still doesn't work. I don't know what is wrong or do i have to do something else. Please help me on this.

Check to make sure the filter isn't backwards. If it is on correct, disconnect the filter on the pump side and see if there is fuel pressure there.

i have done that and it still doesnt work. i filled the filter with fuel, still doesnt work.
my car is nissan pulsar 2000 and the fuel filter goes inside the pump which sits inside the fuel tank.
I can hear the pump running everytime i crank the car so hopefully the pump is working fine but the fuel doesnt seem to go. Or there is no pressure.

Then either the filter is installed incorrectly or the pump, although running, isn't producing pressure. I suggest that you remove the pump and bench test it to see if it is working.

It was just the rubber that was suppose to hold the filter to the pump. It was small so i did not see it straight away.
