Ahh ok, now when I do this, do I have to worry about fuel pressure or anything?
Also, I know it has a new fuse pump, how can I tell if the filter is even dirty?

My buddy had the tool and very little gas came out (new ff 2k ago and no improvement on gas milage) ..Another idea to clear the line is leave the car running and press in the intertia switch in the trunk. If you dont know what that is, it's a switch that shuts off fuel pressure in an accident (iirc a little red button inside the cover located above or below the air ride switch). The line should then be rather dry.
If the fuel pump was replaced theres a good chance they replaced the filter to.

I cant afford a $9 can of seafoam right now..Yesterday i put in 7 worth of 89 octane @3.02 a gal..Went to a diff station today and 93 was 2.99...fu ck...its only a matter of pennies but still.
We'll see what the mileage says in the coming weeks.
?
Fuel line tool? Granted its been 6 months since I have changed mine but I have changed them in my 97 and 98 a total of 8 times and dont remember ever using a tool. Just pulled out the little plastic lock and slid the lines off.
At any rate I am only averaging 17.2 for a 50/50 mix of city/hwy and thats 93 octane only.

use 93 octane
it says on the dash board and on the gas door only premium fuel! if you use 89 it retards the timing to keep it from knocking . this has been proven many times . you are wasting your money running 89, your mileage drops substantially , how much would you pay to increase your mpg 2 to 4 mpg? i dont think my new exhaust system gave me that !!!!!! try it youll be surprised

i know i have to run 93.. but for whatever reason i ran 89.. retarted yes. But i figured 89 vs 91 wouldnt make that big of a difference..now 89-93 is abit more drastic..all the premiems arounds here vary as i'm sure they do in alot of places. The station i usually go to only has 91..thus explaining me getting 89 vs 91.
And a bit faster day before yesterday.Didn't you just go 140MPH!?!?
It does not say that. Go reread them.

It says "unleaded fuel only, premium recommended", unless you have a blower, then you HAVE to use premium...or not, and I'll come put your new motor in

Shoot I have always burned 87 the cheapest from the cheapest station, I have never sea foamed, I have had my injectors cleaned 2 times in 60,000 miles I have put on my car. I get 19 going back to forth to work and driving to church etc. I take my car yearly on a 2200 mile trip from Florida to Northen Indiana and get 25-26 miles a gallon burning 87. My car runs great (knocks on wood)
