Alex, are you working today?
and did you figure your car out yet?

CleanNeon98 · 10-05-2009, 03:24 PM

No Gregg, not working today. Trying to change that fuel filter but I've never done one before and don't want to go at it alone.

EACH IT · 10-05-2009, 03:40 PM

come by tomorrow am?
or take it to a dealership and pay the price.
you should be able to look up online the location of and tips on removal of the pump/filter. let me know.

tomustang · 10-05-2009, 03:46 PM

Did you do like I told you?

CleanNeon98 · 10-05-2009, 08:46 PM

I followed the online instructions to de-pressurize the system, took the line off, got hit in the eye with gas. Furthermore, I can't get enough room under there to manuever myself and be comfortable so it's going to the shop tomorrow.

EACH IT · 10-06-2009, 01:57 PM

good lord, let us all know how much you pay for that sh

Buster · 10-06-2009, 02:14 PM

Lesson learned eh? too much zoom zoom equals boom boom. I should know.

Buster · 10-06-2009, 02:17 PM

Side note,

When was the last time you cleaned your air filter, MAF, or checked pipe fittings? a slight leak in one of those IC pipes can do this same exact thing.

EACH IT · 10-06-2009, 02:32 PM

He doesn't want to break a nail, so he's taking it to someone a little less girly.
lol
sorry alex.

Air filter needs to get replaced, Haven't checked the MAF, and AFAIK, the IC pipes are all on and tight.

Buster · 10-06-2009, 04:38 PM

Well, if your filter is bad enough that it needs replacing, I would take precautions and clean the Maf. ten seconds with some CRC, a dirty Maf can cause those conditions. I dont know where you russians go, but if your hygine means anything I'm scared for your car lol. Im kidding... or am I?

CleanNeon98 · 10-07-2009, 01:57 AM

Nothing visible on the MAF, even blew on it (no homo).

Gonna change the filter regardless cause I need to, otherwise fuel filter should be done this week and pump after that if the problem isn't fixed.

Did you even check the fuel pressure?

CleanNeon98 · 10-07-2009, 12:13 PM

Not yet.

What are you waiting for? Do tests before you buy parts. If I was closer I'd help you out, but the best I can tell you is to free tool rent for autozone and get that system checked, if the pressure is fine then don't worry about the filter and pump

EACH IT · 10-07-2009, 02:32 PM

His filter is supposed to be changed out every 30,000. He is almost at 60,000.
I've been wrong before but the same sort of occurance just happened with my car. I was low on fuel, the filter o-ring was ripped, and my filter had not been changed yet with over 60,000 miles.
imo ....this is his problem.

CleanNeon98 · 10-07-2009, 10:42 PM

Changed the fuel filter, nothing happened, still the same.

Do a fuel pressure test.

CleanNeon98 · 10-07-2009, 11:12 PM

My thinking is since the vaccum changed, it may be a vaccum issue that I am just not finding. After all, I doubt a bad fuel pump could cause vaccum to change.
