Well this morning coming home from a friends house I noticed my car acting a bit irratical I was in first accelerating and all of a sudden its as if no fuel is getting to engine R's drop and car almost dies almost as if I wasnt even pressing on gas pedal, a bit ago I was goin to a friends house and the car drops R's to 0 and dies it starts up just fine, but then dies again and even if I tap the gas or floor it its gives me no response, and car dies again

Thanks, Wes

 

Possible bad filter, possible bad pump... If you have an inline fuel pressure tester, you can eliminate the pump.

Yea, my friend is comin over to tell me for sure, cause he has equipment to run such tests. I was hoping I could get an answer on here cause he wont be able to come over until tomorrow afternoon, and if I dont have a car I cant go see Thrice play there free acoustic show tonight

 

If there is absolutely ANY question about the condition of your fuel filter: REPLACE IT.

Don't let some niggling maintenance item 0WN you.

j.p.

 

Thank you Satan, they arent much but Im unemployed so my father is paying for whatever needs to be replaced, so he wants to replace the right thing the first time around so he doesnt have to replace a bunch of different things

 

well, when was the last time you replaced it? maybe you should take care of it b/c ur gonna need to do it eventually anyways

 

it should be easy to take take the fuel pump out
just a couple screws

 

changing the filter costs about $36 dependant on where you get it from. It is just a few bolts, and hose clamps. My hoses were stuck, and had to get someone to put my car on a alift and take it off.

 

Mine did the same thing. I replaced the fuel filter two days ago and it runs just fine now.
