Did you prime it BEFORE you tried to start it?
Did you use Motorcraft or Racor brand fuel filters?
Did you use a torque wrench on the fuel filter caps?
Please provide the answers.

fuel issue
no it never started after filter change,
yes it was primed 3seconds on then 15 off done twice
motorcraft filters
torqued caps.
but also found out when it died the first time was turning a corner but did restart.
no water in fuel
removed top filter cover and cycled key , plenty of fuel coming out

When I ran mine out of diesel, I did key on for 20-ish seconds (until the pump noise dies), key off 10, did that 3-4 times, and it still sputtered and choked and growled for a solid 2 minutes until it was completely purged of air.

I hope you meant 30 seconds, not 3. But even if you did, twice is a bare minumum. In fact, one Ford video floating arounds says to do it 6 times. I have just done it 3 times, and not had a problem. But instead of going with 30 seconds, I actually listen for the pump to stop before I turn it off.
The point is, that if you get a bubble into the fuel rail, it takes a long time to get it out.
But I have to say, if it never kicked over at all after the filter change, I think it is something else. Someone smarter than me will have to have a go at it.
