Well, I've got to do something. Drove the car today and it simply would not go. It was smoking like it blew a head gasket trying to accelerate up a hill. I had to pull over and let a couple of cars pass. I couldn't hold 35mph.
I guess I will replace the primary and secondary fuel filters since I've never done that since I had the car, but that really isn't consistent with the fact that it runs better once it completely warms up. Even though it warms up and runs better, it still cuts out tremendously at high rpms.
I guess no matter the cost I'm gonna have to get one of those hoses. BTW, is it just as easy to replace only the check valve? I guess one could cut those clamps off, replace check valve and re-clamp?
