It could be many things but if you think it is the filter, just replace it....there cheap. Also they flow only in one direction, dont install it backwards.

If thats dosent fix it you may want to check your fuel pressure to aid you in diagnosing the problem.

could also be the rubber hose on the fuel pump that connects to the sending unit....had one tear on me and the car would barely stay on. It was the last place I looked

Up under the car right in front of the fuel tank.

Also, stop by Sears and pick up a set of disconnect tools.

Do you really need those. I thought it was just two plastic clips that connect the lines and fuel filter.....

86sleeper · 12-06-2005, 11:47 AM

you do need the disconnect tool for the stang, and have any codes been thrown on the car?

blu89hb · 12-06-2005, 11:51 AM

86sleeper · 12-06-2005, 12:21 PM

Like Hoss said, they are incredibly cheap and easy to replace, so start by doing that.
