Fuel filter

Chris951 · February 17th, 2009, 05:39 AM

The time has come. I thought my hesitation problem was due to a tired engine. But I guess it's not tired. 150-160 psi across all cylinders. Now I am gonna change the fuel filter and later the o2 sensors. I guess my question is where is the fuel filter located exactly? Can I change the fuel filter without a jack? Let me now guys. I gotta do it before 4:00 pm today

IIRC it is on the passenger side by the fuel tank. I use a jack with stands under the rear but you may be able to get away with pulling half of the car up on the curb or something similar.

since you are so close, why don't you drive by between noon and 2 and take advantage of my jack and stands. I am at Power and Ray - ish. P.M. me if you are interested and I'll call you around noon when I wake up.

fuel filters are quite easy

!!! maybe if your slow like me it will take an hour.
But when you dissconnect it dont have ur mouth open, gas doesnt taste like strawberrys

the hardest part about it is those annoying clamps
have fun!

Ok cool well how would I relieve the fuel pressure? I would need to right?

Chris951 · February 17th, 2009, 06:31 AM

That's a little far dude. I'm on university and Alma school lol

Start the car and let it idle. Then open the trunk and on the driver's side near the tail light, peel back the cover to expose the cut off switch. (idk where it is in the 5.0)
also open the gas cap. keep the car running and let it die on its own

Chris951 · February 17th, 2009, 07:31 AM

Alright sweeeeet

mylilboostedpony · February 17th, 2009, 07:36 AM

its easy though. the toughest part for me was finding the cut off "switch" and ripping apart my trunk lol.

Chris951 · February 17th, 2009, 07:40 AM

I guess I'm stayin up all night so I'm gonna head to checker when it opens at 8. Ok cool. I think I know where the switch is so we will see. Rain better stop though

mylilboostedpony · February 17th, 2009, 07:42 AM

Chris951 · February 17th, 2009, 07:46 AM
