Quote: I will totally feel like an idiot if it turns out to be the fuel filter - you are right - that is something I should have changed a year ago when I bought the car.
Filters were a common problem, awful hard on the pumps too.
Its happened to me as well, its out of sight and out of mind. I had one plug up on my Caravan on a trip home from Detroit.
I was on my back at 2AM in a dark dirt parking lot on 80 East in Pennsylvania and I swear I could hear banjo's in the distance as I was trying to blow out the filter.
I never seen a truck stop with a dirt parking lot before.
After that I changed fuel filters on a regular basis, usually when I do spark plugs even though I think filters were rated for 75k or 85k
