  • Changing fuel filter...

    Did it the other day, took about 20 mins. Should have done it long ago. At first I thought it was just me thinking things, but it really did give a slightly better throttle response. Hadn't been changed since factory, 92,000 miles on one fuel filter. Needless to say, it was black as hell inside the old filter. Then half a can of Seafoam in the gas tank, the other half in the oil. Didn't really know how to do the whole vaccuum line thing (didn't feel comfortable) so I didn't bother with all that jazz. Good little tune up though! Highly recommended. :banana:

      Yea dont wat so long on doing simple tuneup parts man even if you have to take it somewhere to hav it done. Regular maintenance means longevity in your car. I change my fuel filter about once every year just to make aure I keep my fuel clean. I am now getting ready to buy a ZZP fuel filter which is supposed to be better than one you can get at a local parts stoer.

          WOW! You slackers!!! :spank:

          Get that Seafoam in that vacuum line. Easier than changing filter! You will notice much much more! And youll have fun setting off the smoke cloud!

            I changed my fuel filter at 95,000 miles but I feel I could have left the original on and been fine.
