Ka24de fuel filter problems - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok so I swapped my fuel filter to a new one and the car drove fine for about 15 min ( going to sonic) finished eating then started my car and out of nowhere smoking out the exhaust and it's breaking up to the point where the car just won't get my gas I'm thinking the filter I swapped it was the wrong one I think it looked a little smaller anyways that's my fault I probably boulder checked them side by side..

So my question is would a wrong fuel filter cause that? My friend even said that my exhaust was shooting flames every time I tried ripping it the car was like 2 stepping and lose power

So problem escalated quicker than expected.. now it's spitting out fuel from the headers and cylinder 1 isn't firing I've already swapped spark plug wires and it's cylinder 1 that's not firing already out a different injector in and still not firing

All that was changed was the filter and now it floods like crazy?
Fuel pressure regulator?

I don't have one. Should I get one? I'm honestly on the fence of dropping this ka and getting an sr the shit that's been going bad is so dumb

If you're running the stock fuel rail, it should be on it, close to the firewall. It'll have a vac line attached to it.

Standard procedures next I guess. Spark check, comp check, obviously getting gas, check injectors.
All this from a fuel filter.....

Idk if it's from the fuel filter or not because I swapped the new one for a z32 filter and the problem is still there this motor has to be from hell
