Sounds about right... Check your air filter too when you change out that fuel filter. Plugs and wires likely causing misfires too.

I don't know, but this website should be able to answer your question. There's a message board somewhere on it, maybe via the Time Kill Central link at the top. http://www.cartalk.com/

It gets really abusive to the fuel pump and other components! Attitude! Oh yes...ahem..you'll likely get hesitation on acceleration, perhaps stalling, generally poor performance. I would try a Wix replacement filter from Napa. I use them (oil, air and fuel) on my '04 Ford Focus, and am happy with them.
