HOLLY ****.... $700!!!!!... i bought a fuel filter last night.. but it was too dark out.. and the sits too low so i couldnt get underneath to find the filter.. so i had it towed to my sisters friends dads shop.. the town was only 20 buks.. he said he would take a look at it today...

before the car got towed.. i tried starting it up agian... ran rought a couple times.. then i started it one last time.. ran good for about 10 seconds then died.. nd wouldnt start anymore.

 

Yup, that's exactly what mine is doing. I changed the fuel filter too, but no dice.

 

S.OB....I had my hopes up untill now.. i was hoping all it was was the filter...... now im gnna be thinking about it all weekend... how about you go get your fuel pump fixed... and let me know if that solves the problem.... ya....loli doubt the guy had time to work on it today.. and i dont know if hes going to work next monday because of new years... so ughhh!!!!!!!!!!...

Thanks for the link... im still crossing my fingers that it wont be the fuel pump.. but at least now i know were to refer to if it comes down to it.. because im sure the shop wont want to cut a whole in the pannel.. and they will charge up the *** to remove all the other stuff...

 

is the SES light on?
The same thing happened to me (although it would run, just not like normal), and i replaced the filter, but got nothing.. Brought it to get scanned and i had a "random misfire" and something about the IAT sensor. The guy told me that the 2 codes can trigger each other, so i replaced the IAT sensor and it was fine.

 

no the ses lights was not on... although i had tha same problem as you not too long ago.. had the ramdom misfire as well.. mine turned out to be the EGR valve... but this is not the case here.. and the part that suks is tha i got it towed to a shop... and the shop wont be open untill wednesday.... so i cant even try to change the filter to see if thats it..

 

Cutting out a panel to reach the fuel pump is a neat little trick, but you gotta be careful not to cut the fuel lines.
