SOMEONE HELP ME

IS THERE A INLINE FUEL FILTER ON A 2007?

 

THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT IS IT REPLACEABLE?

 

Sure it's REPLACEABLE.

Just change the fuel tank.

 

Just the news you wanted to hear! ..... What are the symptoms of the problem?

 

there are replacment filters for the pump. but my truck just has a way rough idle and almost dies my dash lights flicker like they dont have power and my mileage has dropped like 100 miles a tank in the last couples months leads me to believe im not getiing the fuel i need also seems to have a lack of power.

 

That sucks!

^^^ I know this is in no way valuable input, but it does suck!

 

This could be any number of things, sure, fuel pump and filter, but also: Clogged injectors, dirty air filter, fouled plugs, bad timing, compression leaks, the list goes on.

Lights flickering don't make sense to me though, but then there are brighter bulbs in the chandelier on this board who maybe can chime in and explain it. (Pun intended. )

 

no check engine light?

 

The lights flickering I don't believe is related to your fuel problem, sounds more like a failing alternator, but that does not explain the crummy gas mileage.

 

mmm,i think if the fuel filter was clogged your mileage would increase

 

My 03,v-6. did something similar. It was the mass airflow sensor. I had a check engine light showing a code present. Dealer did not warranty it under drive train.

 

k so no there is no check engine light, i have a k&n cold air that is clean i clean it every oil change i have changed my plugs less then 10000 miles ago and when my lights flicker is when i am stopped at a light and it feels like the truck is going to die then the rpm bounce up also. about the same time this happened my fuel gauge was having issues sometimes took a day or more to move up to full after i filled up.

i have also ran sea foam through did nothing

 

mileage issue and power loss from electrical and fuel gauge not moving?

 

x2 yeah, the computer or electrical can even cause misfires and other mechanical problems

 

i was gonna try that and try and clean the throttle body. i will this weekend and get back to ya thanks

 

K so i cleaned the MAF and the throttle body. Throttle body was black as can be. Deffinetly not gonna die at stop lights idle is was high i can get to 20 mph in about 150-200 yrds just idling seemed high but not sure.

 

idle will be high upon startups... what is your rpm at operating temp?

 

May want to pull the battery and let the computer relearn.

 

throttle body was black. Sometimes the Idle Air Control Motor gets covered with carbon and sticks open a bit causing a high idle condition. If that is not happening, a vacuum leak could cause the high idle. usually sets an o2 lean code. Reboot the computer by pulling the neg bat. cable for at least ten minutes. the fuel filter is one of the last things I would look at because it's a pain in the ass and not meant to be changed very often. Get a pressure gauge on the fuel line after the regulator, I am not sure what is in spec. but that could give you similar symptoms without setting a code if not in spec. If none of the above are it, I would throw it at the dealer, they can try a new ECM easily and box it back up if that was not it. Good luck!
