fuel filter? car boggs lean

my car keeps bogging but usually if i give it more gas it pushes through. when i do bogg it goes lean, and about 500 miles ago a ran out of gas

fuel filter?

How many miles are on the fuel filter? My crx with a 210,000 fuel filter would bog so much that at one point cruising in the highway just shut off and wouldn't start. After a few cranks later turned on, got a new fuel filter and hasn't bogged since.

i never changed it and i got 130k on the chasis



noob speaking- where is it?

It's a $13 part and takes about 5 minutes to replace so it's worth a shot.

It is right there next to the battery bolted to the firewall i believe on the 5th gen and is black with a bango bolt. Or to simply put it follow the fuel line from the fuel rail and leads to the fuel filter.

small difference = no difference

I try and change mine every 30k miles. You never know what these fuel companies put in their fuel anymore. Its a cheap insurance.

I changed it out at 135k miles and it made a small difference.

The car didn't die the next time I drove it out of the driveway

still boogs lean after fuel filter change

amy ideas?

Maybe fuel pump going out but sounds almost like your fuel relay is clicking out.I would try (with the car off)jumping your fuel pump and see if it stays running.

my fuel punmp is a wallbro and is 6000 miles old

 

[Johnd15b7]

Is your relay clicking in and out?

 

[superdewey58]

hmmmm i did notice an unusual clicking, it seemed to be coming from around the intake manifold

 

[Johnd15b7]

I dont know what that could be.But I'm talking about your main relay under your dash sholud look like a grey box with 1 bolt holding it in.It controls the power for your ecu,fuel pump.

drivers side or passenger

drivers.

Sounds to me like you don't have a fuel pressure gauge. That would be very useful.
