I won't pretend I know what I'm talking about, but I do know FCP lists a fuel filter for the P2 cars:

which engine does your car have. On the earlier (1993-2000) cars with the 5 cylinder engine you can test at the end of the fuel rail (schraeder (sp) valve) if you have the right tester. I always disconnect the fuel line from the rail and plumb the tester inline there. You're testing post-pressure-regulator, but that's usually what you're interested in anyway.

I'm not certain but I think the fuel pressure can vary a lot before the OBD-II system would pick it up. Also you might have stored codes that haven't tripped the CEL yet...

Also you may not have a fuel problem at all. Fuel is easy to wrap your mind around, but too much or too little or unmetered air will have just as much of a detrimental effect.

Measure the pressure if you have a gauge. Otherwise stick with the easy stuff - new plugs and vac lines, seafoam treatment.

If I think of it I'll check in VADIS tonight on the question of the fuel filter.
