"The Problem," cont'd
Ok... a fuel filter is on its way, and I bought a bottle of injector cleaner for the next time i fill my tank.
That being said, I have some more specific information on my "problem" (sluggish accelleration, esp in high gears, with some hesitation from idle, and an occasional rough idle). To be more specific, accelleration is way worse than normal, with throttle imput having apparently no impact on accelleration in 4th and 5th... if i give it half throttle in 4th, and then floor it, there is no noticable change in accelleration rate.
When I rev it in neutral, it revs quickly and smoothly; if there is a change from when the car is running well, I can't see it.
Does this (ok revving in neutral) mean that it's probably not the fuel system? Or would revving still be ok with a fuel filter/injector problem due to the low amount of fuel needed to rev the engine in neutral?
This damn thing is driving me nuts.
