That's really funny (so to speak) because I thought mine got a *little* better too after the fuel filter change, but then thought I was imagining it. That started to lead me in the direction of the fuel injectors like bigjess007. That still may be, but I think the problem is as bad as it ever has been. It seems to run better before it's completely warmed up. Anyway, I've found I have other issues with this car (and you probably do too). The valve stem seals go bad but can be accessed by removing the valve covers, no head disassembly required, so I guess I'll plan on doing that some time. Take a look at
http://www.canadiandriver.com/articl...-96regal_a.htm for a good list. I finally know why my oil pan has been leaking for years! I love the car too and I am inclined to repair it. The Tappet Bros. (CarTalk) always say it's cheaper to repair than to rebuy. My current plan is to take it to a mechanic I am starting to trust and have him diagnose it for $65, but I probably won't do that till mid-April. Fortunately, this is just my "vacation car" and I'm not due for a vacation till June! Let me know about the injector cleaner. Is that the kind that you have to bypass the pump or can it go right through the pump? Thanks, ~Dan [autoforum]
