fuel filter

[kaeiiiii]

i was wondering when should i change the fuel filter its an 89 s13 with 129k miles and when should i change spark plugs i changed it 6 months ago.. also my check engine light comes on once in a whiile and turns off.. the case always happend when im driving on the freeway im think its a loose sensor? help i just have 3 question at the moment.:(

[srstan]

have you changed the fuel filter since you've owned the car? If not then yes I would change it. I wouldn't change the plugs again...maybe the plug wires and o2 sensor.

You can play detective and attempt to examine the fuel filter in order to determine its age.

You can also disconnect the fuel filter and let some of the fuel pour into a glass container. Examine the petrol, if it looks dirty - change the filter.

- or -

You can stop being a cheap fuck and just go out and change the filter. Then, you make note of it in your service records for future reference.

Nice how this deserves its own thread, as opposed to using the small questions thread.

I can pretty much guarantee you that your check engine light is EGR related.

Spark plugs should be changed every 20,000 miles or so for regular plugs, platinum/iridium can go much longer than that.

Fuel filter should generally be changed at about the same interval as the regular spark plugs.

Either this is a super troll thread or you are ABSOLUTELY clueless. Perhaps you should take some automotive classes at your local community college or trade school. The fuel filter on a 240sx is so fucking obvious that you asking for pics or video makes me want to kick you in the balls.

Also, if you HAVE to make a stupid thread like this at LEAST type in complete sentences. Your post reads like it was typed by a kindergardner...
