RE: My GT's feeling hurt.....
Changing the fuel filter is easy as falling off a log. Crawl under the back of the car and look up behind and top of the gas tank. It's hanging right there attached to a couple of rubber hoses.
Here's a service manual description.

Great instructions...one problem...it doesnt' tell you HOW to relieve the fuel pressure. I just pull the fuel pump fuse, start the engine, then let it run til it dies. Then I crank it once or twice for a second or two. Keep in mind when you replace the fuel filter you will have to crank it for a bit to get it to reprime the system. Don't crank for more than 30 seconds at a time with about a minute wait between cranks, Otherwise you may burn up your starter.
You can do this for most cars. Ones that use cross fire injection (Trans am/late model camaros) do not recommend this method because you have to reprime the system which sometimes requires a handheld pressure guage.

Other option, is to vent the system using the Shreider(sp?) valve on the fuel rail. Use a rag... Usually not a great deal of pressure or fuel. Just remember not to do this on a hot engine.

RE: My GT's feeling hurt.....
I think it was lagging because I had my A/C on. I bought the car in september so I have never used the A/C. I didnt relieze it steals some much power from the crank. Does anyone know what percent or amount of power loss thats due to the A/C?
