Could a choked fuel filter cause my valver to run slow?
i am gradually going through things to replace and the fuel filter is next in line, as i dont think its ever been changed!
it was a 1.0 12v, but is now a 2.0 16v, so i am wondering whether the fuel filter doesnt have a high enough flow?
are the fuel filters usually changed when cars are converted?
any help would be great

How long have you had your car? How many miles has it done?

Then it needs changing. Change it every 10k just because.

i put a 200sx fuel pump in my car, ou can put any pump you want in it really so long as you have the time to cut stuff up to make it fit. id change the pump and the filter.
