Bad miss, mechanic doesn't know...

FOUND IT!

After 3 weeks of searching, I got it.

Fuel filter got rid of a slight bit of it, BUT it returned..

Took a stethescope to every single vaccuum like I could find and finally came up with the slightest hissing/whining noise in the elbow that connects the PCV valve to the intake! Just that little hairline crack cause my engine so much crap... WOW :rolleyes:

Thanks guys,
-Brandon

Great!:cool:

Amazing how the little things can cause so much
grief.
Thanks for posting back the results, might help
someone else.
 






Can I remove that without the special tool that is needed? Is there a writeup somewheress?

I know you fixed the problem but for people that search hes a fuel filter changing vid.

Glad the problem is fixed. Might wanna hit it with a few more bottles of injector cleaner just to make sure the injectors are clean.:thumbsup:

I actually found and used your video to change mine :D Was a great help, however, I didn't feel like buying those clips to 'unlock' the filter, so I cut up a Sprite can and rolled it around the cable.. :cool:

I tried cutting up the tip of an old funnel and it didnt work. I finally just bought the stupid kit.

Next time I change it im just cutting both adapters off and running rubber hose for the filter.
