Hey guys, Maybe someone can help me figure this out: I just finished replacing my in tank fuel pump and started engine up - ran fine. Then I remembered to install the new fuel filter, but now it only tries to start and dies as soon as I stop cranking it.
Has anyone had a brand new fuel filter that wouldn't pass fuel? It's a Fram filter, the correct part for the car, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary when I installed it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance:hail:

 

Did you install it in the right direction??

 

Yes, I checked it twice, but you're thinking.

 

I was going to ask if it was a Fram filter...

Does the fuel pump run for two seconds as soon as the ignition is turned ON?

 

I would try a different filter. If it's not the problem than you alredy have one for your next tune up and there is no problem.

 

Vader, Yes - the pump does run for two seconds when I turn the key on, so I don't think it's the pump. Oh yeah, I did also notice that at the same time as I installed the filter , the fuel tank no longer releases pressure when I loosen the cap.

383 rocket bird, Yeah I think I'm just going to get a new filter (NOT Fram) tomorrow and try that. Just seems like too much changed after the new filter went in.
