fuel filter replaced, now harder to start..??

Featured Replies

replaced the fuel filter on my ea82 as it was bucking hard and hardly making it up hills...solved the problem but now its much harder to start when its warm then it use to be..coincidence or ??

Don't want to be insulting here, but any chance you put it in backwards? I've done dumber things than that myself before.

did you replace the 20 year old hoses, or is it possible that you now have a major fuel leak that you didnt notice? hoses can crack sometimes :grin:

see, that's the other strange thing, it runs great, good acceleration, excellent mpg at 30, starts fine cold...just not warm...

The fuel filter is a red herring maybe and you need to check out your coolant temp sensor?

 

And reset your ECU. I know my car started out having some problems with the extra fuel that was coming through the new filter until it learned it.

Yeah definately reset your comp.... Pull the plug on the bat for like 10-20 mins and then start it up!
