Running slow
Ok, I got the 180 T-Stat in and went for a 100 mile ride and the temp was great.
On the way home i had to wait for a guy to make a left turn. As I acclerated and it flet like my Old 66 Mustang with a bad Accelrator pump.. and almost died ? felt gutless.
Also it does not have the power it had a couple of days ago? Im Thinking fuel pump an at least a Fuel filter ?
Thanks, This board it the best !

Fuel filters are cheap and easy to replace, so I'd replace it. You can also hook up a fuel pressure guage and see what the psi is. You might have to tape it to the windshield, go for a ride and see if it drops.

The fuel filter is located behind the passenger tire under the car.
You hook up the FP gauge to the Schrader valve on the fuel rail. Its on the passenger side and should have a little screw on cap on it.
