[krnboy817]

ok i been having loss of power from 2 - 3 rpm range... and hard time going over 3rpm... figure its time for fuel filter and injector cleaning.

does anyone know if i can take the injectors out and clean them easily? or just use the fluid stuff?

and can someone please tell me how to change fuel filter on 99 prlude?

thnx

The filter or filterS on a prelude are fairly simple to replace. On my 84 I have a prmry and a secndry simply clamp the fuel lines off on both sides and replace it. As far as I know of fuel injectors pulling them out does NO good. There is a spray that u can buy. (Not CHeap by the way) That U hook up to the fuel lines and run till it dies. This might clean out little problems but if an injector is bad it won't fix it. Also take a ling neck screwdriver put the handle end to ur ear and the other end to the injector and listen to them to see if they are all working correctly b4 u go spendin lots of money on em. Good Luck!

thnx man... but it seems like my fuel filter is a screw of some kind that is... well i would say almost next to impossible to get out with out taking out many other things that are in the way.

but i think from what you said... there might be a primary and secondary so ill look into that...

and far as the injectors go... what are they supposeed to sound like if they are good because i have no idea and never heard the injectors at work.

no it's hard i have a 99 and you have to take the thing apart (to risky )

ive been having the same problem in my 91, and i got some of that Gumout fuel system cleaner, and its seems to be doing a little better. worth a shot

Just listen to them. They should all sound the same. Basically u can tell if ones bad by listening for differences in them. U just have to get a feel for it. Also, lots of people say that gumout etc. helps. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't (No Offense) The stuff they put in gumout is a required chemical in gasolines. You're already getting that stuff run through them every time u drive it. Let me know if u have any more questions. Message me if u don't get a quick response.

Get yourself a mechanics stethoscope... $10.00 at any auto parts store and listen to each one, they should be ticking quickly, Your fuel filter might be mounted on the fire wall and it can be a bear to get the nuts on top to break loose if it is factory. Just follow your fuel line back to the filter... there might be a primary down next to the frame by the back wheels on the drivers side. that is just a clamp on filter.
