How often should you replace the fuel filter? Is there a brand that you guys recommend?

 

i dunno like every 20-30 k............ maybe sooner if you run your tank low a lot.

 

Thanks! I kept looking for it under the hood, lol.

 

was i suppose to un hook the battery before starting cause i didnt and i un hooked it for a while and hoked it back up ima see wat happens tommorrow tho

 

unhooking the battery is for saftly. As long as you did everything right and everything is were it should be, you should be OK.

 

so just woundering is there a differance changing plugs and wires? if so what would be a good brand of plugs and wires....and do you have a good site to get diaframs off of i need to replace my fuel pump as well.

 

just get stock plugs if you have a stock car........
for the fuel pump, search "trap door"....... trust me.

 

this is gonna be a huge help. i just gotta wait for my next paycheck so i can afford the wires and im set. ive been wondering how to get to the plugs since i bought the car. its gonna save me ALOT of money. hopefully this write stays on here for a little while.

thanks for the info, its perfect!

 

Did mine two days ago. Took 15 minutes. I havea 96 model.

Backed the car up on my ramps and poked my head under the driver's side just in front of the rear wheel.

The filter is held in place by a ring/sleeve and once you disconnect the fuel lines, you can slide it out. The inlet line just clips on to the inlet and the outlet line is threaded. Very simple.

Fuel will go EVERYWHERE when you do this. EXPECT IT! Be ready for it. Don't get it in your face or eyes. That would suck!

I had some old towels down on the ground below the filter and I just let it go. There was pressure on the line but it slowed down to a drip pretty quickly.

Slide the new filter into the holder and thread the outlet line on. Then just clip the inlet line on and you are set.

Since fuel pressure was lost during the repair, theengine willnot start up like normal. It will hesitate - but it will start.

 

Your fuel pump primes the system to get pressure up when you turn the key to on... The "hesitating" is from the air in the line.
