Consumer Description

AT FIRST I HAD STARTING PROBLEMS. I LOOKED INTO THE IGNITION,SPARK PLUGS,COILS,PLUG WIRES. A G.M. DEALER SAID I HAD A CODE THAT SAID #3 CYLINDER MISFIRE. #3 CYL. SPARK PLUG WAS THE ONLY PLUG THAT WAS NOT RUNNING TO LEAN. AT THAT POINT MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING ROUGH. WITH IN ABOUT 1.5 MONTHS THE ENGINE STARTED HARD STARTING. I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER, BOUGHT ONE FROM AUTO ZONE, CRAWLED UNDER CAR AND COULD NOT FIND A FUEL FILTER. MY G.M. DEALER DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. SO I EXPLAINED IT AGAIN. THEY CAME BACK WITH "IT MUST BE IN THE FUEL TANK. I HAVE CHANGED HUNDREDS OF FUEL FILTERS IN MY 50 YEARS OF BEING A MECHANIC. EVERY AUTOMOBILE I HAVE CHANGED THE IN TANK FUEL PUMP HAS HAD A SCREEN TO CATCH THE LARGE PIECES THAT MAY GET IN YOUR TANK, BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FUEL FILTER IN TANK. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.
