I was over my fuel filter limit on the ASSYT computer by 1000 miles.....I bought one from the dealer last week when I had a "too cold to start" day....I got home the next day and the temps warmed up from -25 F to 11 F and the van started fine, espar worked etc....
Today I had to drive the van to the "Cities" ABOUT 100 each way....my double wrench came on loudly this am as well as the "engine light" I dutifully pulled over and read the manual and it said ECU blah blah blah limp home blah blah blah....so I drive the other 95 miles to and from the "cities" put the van in my hangar....I looked up Siks instructions on how to change the fuel filter, changed it easily!!!! (had clamps on the shelf) filled the filter about 1/2 was with the old filtered fuel and installed with the outlet line run into a juice can...turned the ignition system key to position 2 and the sucker pumped about 3/4 quart of fuel like right now!!!...I put the outlet hose on the steel line....clicked the position 2 about 5-8 times as I reset the ASSYT deal and had no problems with a start!!!! the drive home was fine, plenty of popwer and my engine light was gone.....(it did disappear on the way home sometime....probably after it gave up on me changing the filter )
Sik,,,,I did the deed with confidence! with your full direction!! without a flaw or hitch!
(and next time I will not use the dealer for a filter!)
Best regards,
