fuel filter?

[helliviknow]

every once in a while when i first start my 96 gs is just kinda half dies out and then comes up to idle and runs fine.. its usually when its cold or something and iv only noticed it like 3 or 4 times in the past few months.. so you all think i need to replace a fuel filter or something? i dont know but i dont think it could hurt to replace it. prolly time for plug wires too. plugs should stil be good replaced them 15k ago..

does this happen to you on rainy days?

[helliviknow]

hmm it hasnt happened when it was raining that i remember.. but its usually in the morning when you got that dew all over stuff.. you think its somethin to do with condensation or something?

ussually when you ignition wires get old, they let moisture thru which would cause your engine to stutter or stall when cold, try changing you wires if they are old

i dont really know how old they are.. they were on it when i bought it... its got 106k so thats the oldest they could be.. i think ill throw a new set on this weekend..

When the car is idling, there is very little fuel flow required. That is not the time a dirty filter would be an issue I cant count how many times poeple change filters for no reason. The danger with a clogging filter is at high fuel flow, or when you are making a lot of power (WOT, under boost, high rpm). They should be replaced regularly anyway, so it doesnt hurt. Just had to point that out

see now that you point that out it makes damm good sense to me and i feel like a idiota lol.. ok ill prolly replace that too if its not too expensive.. it couldnt hurt.. i think i remember autozone saying 16 or somethin not sure and im too lazy to go check real quick..
