hey guys just letting peeps know about some of or actually one of my problems i had with my tune up....
ok so this is what i have done as far as i consider a "tune-up"...and some help finding and replacing the fuel filter.....
4qts royal purple....................like 30 bucks
fram high mileage oil filter......under 10 bucks
pcv valve..maker??.kragen......like 3 bucks
bgm cap, rotor, wires..kragen...around 60bucks
ngk spark plugs......................under 10 bucks
chilton manual........................20bucks (a must...def a must)
redline SI-1 fuel additive..........under 10 bucks
fram fuel filter......................12 bucks
the blue shop towels..............89 cents..gota love em
all in all i spent 120 bucks on a "tune-up"...i hope this entails one or something like that....but thats what i call one.....
so the main reason im writing this is to help you guys out find the fuel filter and replace it.....
first you want to make sure you release pressure by opening the gas cap...
ok..here we go....so u open your hood and walk over to the fuse box...look right past it and you see a black box on the firewall....ok
the filter is just to the right a little below... see it...good....the way to get there is to remove that black box...
a side note* before removing box...you can either unclip two small harnesses or just remove then from the black box...either or..make sure not to split or mess them up....this makes the moving around a little easier.
there are two 10mm bolts holding it on the firewall...make sure u use a long extension as it makes it easier......then simply give it a jiggle and it should pop out....ah ha..u see the filter right...ok...
i first took off the banjo bolt (the bigger bolt of the 2) with an 11/16 and a 14mm for the other fuel line....once removed, you are ready to take the filter out...remove the 10mm bolt on the right of the filter to release...its a pain in the ass to put back....
ok at this point your might be having a prob fuel line...if you havent already taken it out..this is where you are going to spill a bit of fuel but i had to turn it side ways and make it do like 15 thousand twists and turns, but you will find a way for it to get out....but be patient..plus the fuel line does go out a bit just one of those things you cant say how far it will go out but it goes far enough....
its highly recommended that you replace the washers on the banjo bolt..the bigger bolt of the 2....unless you want a high pressure leak dont ,,,as it says in the manual,,,but the fuel filter you bought should have them...if not go to honda and they are like 5 bucks if that......ok install the filter and make sure you tighten everything up cause i was leaking fuel from the banjo bolt and only knew about it cause i forgot to tighten it...i dont know why...o yea..cause i spent about 10 hours tryin to take the filter out ...but be patient ...it worth it.....i think that about it...ill post pics later.
thanks guys...
