after official French involvement, there's no way to have the American Revolution fail, if failure means simply resetting the clock. Without a healthy dose of compromise on both sides, there will be no peace.
however, you can avoid French involvement in AR, and simply redirect their reckless spending in another direction, like maybe getting involved in a war of Bavarian Secession that ultimately ends up as OTL (so as not to upset the OTL scenario too much). The TTL AR will still end in compromise - there's only a slim margin for completely squashing the rebellion (especially if you retain the same bumbling Brits that blew the initial years) - but the amount of compromise each side gives will shift in favor of the Brits.
Under this unlikely scenario, it doesn't really affect the French too much in their revolution. The americans, if they're still feeling cocky are going to look at the occasion as an opportunity to try again. Or, they might have realized that it's not too bad to have home rule with British protection.
