Well with the slight bogging problem I've been having everynow and than I've decided to do a tune up. I went and bought a fuel filter and the cap and rotor. I think I know how to change the cap and rotor no problem but the hard part would be the fuel filter. First thing is, WHERE THE HELL IS IT? I thought it was located on the firewall but i didnt see anything close to it. I didn't have enough money for wires so I didnt get it. The current ones are oem with 47k on it i think. I'm not sure, I'm the second owner. So now that you know I'm broke, would the ngk v powers work fine for my car?

Please answer the fuel filter question first if anyone can. Thanks

 

ok very simple... find your fuel rail (silver rail right next to the engine) and follow the black thick hose coming out of it....... it should lead you to the fuel filter....... and if it is going to be the first time done in your car, prepare yourself, it takes a lot of torque to break the top nut loose and the bottom one is another pain in the *** too. my recomm is (somehow) break everything loose (please be careful with the bottom gas line dont bend it) take out the filter and assemble everything before you put the bottom line on. (Replace the 2 Orings and screw the banjo bolt in the new filter right in your hands just enough to stay together) dont try to do this down in the engine bay you will loose the new Orings trying to put everything together.....after this it should prettystraight foward.... thats my .02 cents for you
good luck

 

after getting the flash light i found it. the only problem is getting the lower steel line off the filter. i need to find some crowfoot wrenches to work around it. if anyone has anyother ideas let me know. **** is a b to take off

 

I used to work in a honda service/parts dept.

They claim there is no need to change plug wires until 100k. Honda OEM wires are NGK. We barely ever kept them in stock besides a set for each model. So save your money!


Plugs are a different story and should be changed.

 

thanks for the good info

 

well the way i did it was with a regular wrench but i believe i took some stuff out the way in order to make space for the wrench. in my case it wasnt pretty....... me and friend end up with a few cuts in the hand....
but then again good luck

 

I had to use some crowfoot wrenches to get mine out. Changing the Fuel filter in 5th gens is a pain the ***. Good luck.
