I had the car up on the rack today - figured I'd finally replace my 02 sensor (had 3 codes indicating bacnk 2 was lean - for the last 6 months lol). Also took off my fuel fileter.

After 48k of 75% highway miles, my fuel filter was so clogged I couldnt blow through it! I intended to change it at 60k ~ or so.

All I can say is CHANGE YOUR FUEL FILTER EVERY 15 - 20K MILES! I always knew this was a recommendation - but DAMN - it was clogged the F up!

By the way, my car's idleing considerably better now - not sure if it was the fuel filter or 02 sensor in particular giving me a rough idle. At any rate - all' good now and Im sure my cars quicker for it. Plan on goin to the track Friday.

 

Gotta <3 those overlooked filters and cheap fixes.

 

I had a rough idle and never really cared enough to diagnose it since I got my new short block.

I'll look into it

 

Some of the smaller things are really easy to overlook. Fuel filter being one of them. Also stuff like running your A/C for at least 10 minutes every month even during the cold months so the seals don't dry out.

 

You're gonna laugh but where are the Fuel Filters located in my car?
92 GT

They an easy change? Been meaning to change mine sooner or later, and its obviously going to be my first time

 

its in front of the fuel tank right in the middle....its got hoses on both sides.....its big you cant miss it...

 

If all else fails just follow the fuel lines from the tank until you find it. On other cars sometimes its under the car, sometimes up by the tank, sometimes under the hood.

 

dont u have injectors, intake, etc...havent replaced fuel filter?

 

It's my first time doing anything and everything to a car

So, I overlook everything because I know nothing

 

Md..that blowing thing sounds personal I change mine once a year..as I do my 1 yr maintance on my cars
