Socky Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Could be that the gas they are giving you may be watered down, just like they did that to us last year. Made our vehicles run like crap and get horrible fuel mileage. Could be a catylic converted clogging up, clogged air filter. Many things, i would take it to the autoparts store and have them run a scanner on your computer.

dereileak Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Fuel filter needs to be replaces every 50,000miles might want to check that Try like 15k. I change mine at 15 and there is a BIG difference in restriction between the old and new. Run your filter to 50k and it will probably be plugged. It's like a <$10 part, why cheap out? Question, do they change these at oil changes, and where does this filter usually go, towards the engine, or near the gas tank?

Rebel4055 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Fuel filter is in the tank. Attached to the pump. Quote Rest In Peace mother. January 22, 1955 - February 14, 2013 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/user/35351-megrch/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socky Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Most of the time it's near the fuel pump.

kandiman71874 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Fuel filter is in the tank. Attached to the pump. That didnt use to be the case at all, however it is getting to be a more common practice for vehicle manufacturers. Depending on the year of your vehicle is a big dependent factor as to its location.

splmark Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Like everyone said when its cold the air is more dence so u need more castor make up for it. Plus with most cars if you use defrost for heat your running your AC compresser also and thattakes for gas Quote http://www.termpro.com/dbdrag/memberalbum/34416a0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optical Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 minnesota driver as well. our winter has been damn cold so i would blame it on that and letting your car warmup and such. change your fuel filter and possible new plug wires you will need them eventually so just do it now they dont cost alot of money.

white4d96 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Fuel filter is in the tank. Attached to the pump. Not always. My car is along the fuel like like 2 ft in front of the tank. I think the 2nd gen W's were like this as well. I'll look it up to be sure. EDIT: Google search says driver's side frame 'rail' in front of the tank. It mentions needing a special tool to remove the lines, but it looks exactly like my filter, which I did not need tools to remove Edited March 3, 2011 by white4d96 Quote Too many projects, too little time...
