You have once again missed my point…. If you have replace all these parts why not replace a 12$ easy part??? The components inside can brake down and clog the ejectors,carb and regulator and you have wasted your money and time…
You could throw parts, time, and money at the problem, or you could perform an injector balance test and see if you have clogged or sticking injectors.
maybe the fuel filter might need to be changed anyway, who knows.[/quote]
What common DIYer is gonna have the tools and all the other stuff to preform this action(Very few???
If they know how to preform this operation – They dont need you or me.
I said this in a post already… Yes you can do a ejector test BUT ONCE AGAIN something made the ejector go bad/clog – Start with your cheapest easiest items.
Just because the person does not have any issues does not mean the item should not be replaced. This is called preventable maintenance…
(This is like saying my tires balled but not flat so ill take off down the high way and kill someone)
Why wait for sometime to go wrong and cause 600$ worth of damage or get some one hurt when changing a 12$ filter is preventable maintenance any way…
You can not tell me that it is not common since to change your fuel filter when fuel issues are involved…
Iv seen new filter fail.
