Running it and pulling the relay worked fine for me. The FSM has a description of the connectors, but you basically just squeeze & pull. I think the fuel filter I got was $30 or something like that, probably less.

 

ok, thanks, so its a pretty easy job? cause i dont want to drive it up to my shop, i was just going to do it in the drive way, but it will be a little cold if i am under there for a while

 

It's an inline filter, so it's like 2 bolts and 2 connectors. Have a glass bottle handy to drain the gas into, as the lines/filter will still have gas in them. It's really a 10-minute job. Be thankful you don't have the in-the-tank filter the later models do! The filter is directional, so make sure you've got the arrow pointing in the direction of fuel flow.

 

ok, yeah the in tank filters are a PITA, did you notice any difference after you changed it? Like MPG? thats why i am changing it

 

No, sorry, I changed mine immediately after buying the vehicle as part of my overhaul since it didn't have much in the way of maintenance records, so I didn't do an MPG comparison beforehand.

 

you have the 93 and its in front the fuel tank. should be a 10mm socket to let it loose. use your fingers and pull the lines off. use a rag or you's haz gas on the elbow.
I think I paid like 10-15 bucks for a filter.

 

Yup, it's a 10mm...he's right...and the connectors...squeeze em together, then pull the clips away...you will get some fuel spill so try not to lie directly under the filter...

When the new one goes in, just make sure the directions is correct, there should be a wee arrow on the filter itself showing direction of flow.

 

An oil drain pan works best, you'll have fuel coming from 4 different places. Disconnect the hoses and let each of them drain. Then remove the 10mm bolt and dump the filter into the pan. If you try to do it all at once you'll have a mess.
