fuel filter brands
Whats are you guys using today for fuel filters? Whats a safe bet?
I know fram has gone to **** so none of those.
Reason is im about to change mine, got slight miss when running idle, seeing if fuel filter will help but dont even know how old it is so gonna change it anyway.
THX guys!

i replaced my 90's fuel filter with a "made in the USA" ACDelco piece. other brands will work okay, but i'd stay away from any, plain white box, "made in china" crap. trying to save $5 here just ain't worth it...

The diesel guys were saying good things about Baldwin filters. The micron rating was good. Check you filters rating and flow rate to compare. I believe stock was something like 10 microns and 90 gpm. I put in a reusable filter that flows 330 gpm and filters 10 micron.

It could be your filter,but if its not missing at higher RPMs it should be getting enough fuel at idle..Clean your IAC and the housing and do whats suggested above. Could also be wires.plugs,cap,rotor,injectors, many things it could be.. You need to go through the basics first..WW
