Re: 96 Fuel Filter Flare Nut Jammed & Clunk in Overdrive

I ended up finding a new flare nut at the junk yard that was in good shape from a 99 camry, I had one chance to do it right without having to patch the line or redo the whole gas line. I had just enough room to cut just the flare off with a pipe cutter. If I cut to much off I wouldn't be able to use the flaring tool. I pushed the nut down as far as it would go before the bend in the pipe. I put my flaring tool on that had just enough room to make a flare but no more than that. I made the flare and everything fit back together. In order to do it I had to take the bracket off and attatch the gas line to the filter in order to get it on strait then I remounted the bracket. It was very tight but it worked. Anyway It hasn't died on me since then. But it didn't die real often before, and I still notice it lags a little when you press on the gas at times and it seems like it loses a little acceleration and could die while driving up hill. I thought it may be water in the line so I put some gas antifreeze in. I took it to shucks to get the computer diagnostic print out, nothing there. I replaced the plugs about 3months ago, do you suppose one of the plugs used is bad?

Thanks again for your input.
