Re: car only runs after fuel filter has been taking off??? 200 78

/// This is interesting but I bet it is simple. It takes time for the fuel to be pumped to the injectors. Even if there is not enough to run some is pumped past the filter. When you remove the filter the intake vaccum works through the injectors and hoses to allow outside air to force that small ammount of fuel into the intake. That cannot happen with the filter in since outside air cannot get in the line from the pump and the fuel must rise into the filter and system to get to the intake.(head)
