nasoup Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 If your going to get under the car with just a screw jack make sure you put something solid under the car, incase the jacks fails. No special tools needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anesn Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 ye i know just got some missfires had bad coilpacks exchanged it but its still messy might be the fuel filter thats bad since the car has been standing for 5 months or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasoup Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Could just be spark plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Be careful when removing it, many people over tighten the nut at the back of the filter causing the flange to spread out internally. Make sure you brace the filter end with a good spanner before losening the bolt, if it's not moving it would be best to make sure you have a spare fuel line available as it can easily snap. Rajinder's pic above shows the one you need to be careful with. BTW, have you ruled out spark as the problem? misfires are nearly always plug/ignition related, it woud be pretty rare to have a blocked filter. Changed the plugs already I guess?

Graham1984 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Went to do mine earlier but the bolt on there was so tight I just left the original on there as it seamed to flow fine and be as clear as anything anyway. I put a fuel system cleaner through just for good measure anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
