Hi.. just wondering what could be causing this.... my car doesn't seem to have the same response as it used too... I used to feel like it was fast... but it seems like when I give it gas it hesitates before waking up.... what could be causing that? Didn't used to do it.. I haven't replaced the fuel filter since I bought the car... could that be a problem?? If so how hard it it to replace?

That could be a problem, the fuel filter is at the between the rear bumper and fuel tank, it takes five minutes to change. All you need is a catch pan and a Phillips and flat head screw driver. Also don't forget to unplug the negative on your battery.

Good luck

P.S. Try not to break the plastic tabs that are on the fuel line. That could be bad.
 
Dump the codes. This would be a time where a soft code could be stored (without illuminating the CEL).

Also, do you know if you have any vacuum leaks?

Good luck.
