Default New Fuel Filter Trick...HELP!
Here's a new one for me. Just changed the fuel filter on a 2002 and now it barely starts/runs. No MILs but took a reading and showed lean on both banks. To me this means the fuel filter is bad but can't figure out HOW???
Has anyone ever seen/heard of this before?

AFAIK the fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator are one unit. I would check the fuel pressure at the rail.

Were the fuel pumps working fine before you changed it?

Dumb question... Did you install the filter backwards somehow?

No such thing as a dumb question. Can't say the same about answers.
