thanks for the good info!! i am going with the fuel filter first and hope that solves it, b/c the cold injector sounds expen$ive. fwiw, it pays to call around:
dealer #1 wanted $49.33,
dealer #2 wanted $32.82,
pepboys [purolator] wanted $25.
i am on my way to dealer2 and will swap it out today. thanks again for the help and the write-up!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
my darn haynes manual doesn't even show the location of the fuel filter <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

oh yeah, should i be worried about spark plugs after only 15k? i've always thought they are good for 30k unless problems (mileage, misfire, etc) indicated otherwise..?
thanks again,
