Angry Help!!!!

Ok today was a nice day out and I thought i would change my fule filter my truck has 113,000 miles on it with the firstnfule filter on it. I changed the fule filter and now it will not idle, it is getting gas as i drove it down the road thinking that the computer needed to be reset. It still does not idle i disconected the battery for 1hr and tryed again and nothing. The only hing i did was change the fule filter nothing else. Any help would be great.

There is a schrader valve on the passenger's side fuel rail. Shut the truck off and see if you can bleed any air out.

Thumbs up Doesn't idle after changing fuel filter

Check fuel pressure, remove and clean Maf sensor. Test throttle position sensor. Isolate individual injectors to see if one or more screens are partially plugged with foreign grit. Try a couple cans of injector cleaner in the tank.
