I think I am hearing the fuel pump, it is whir from the engine area. It is pretty loud, I hear it in the cabin. I will lookup where it is located and make sure tomorrow. I have not felt a loss of power, I guess that is not always the case with a fuel filter. What is the averages for replacement? I have 80k.
Oh yeah! I just dloaded tapatalk for the iPad, it is pretty sweet.

My coworker forgot the code reader this morning. I tried to start anyway and it fired right up, twice in a row. I will get the code reader this afternoon after work if he doesn't get it on his lunch break. I am still not going to drive it, I do not want to have it die on the side of the road.

I sent an email to the parts dept @ the Virginia Beach stealership. Got two emails back from different people one quotes $145.16 and one quotes $152.42 a few minutes later. I better get this part quick as it appears the price is rising like oil. I check autozone and they list one for $20. I see online they are $40-$50 oem. I am thinking autozone, since I can get one today and possible slap it in tonight if the rain stops... I know, I know, autozone - bad, but this is a filter. Is it still a bad idea?

$20 sounds awfully cheap. I would personally make sure wherever I got it from that it's an OEM filter.

Yeah @ $20 I might slap a autozone one in there while waiting to get one online. I still am going to get the codes still before anything.

Used my friends code reader and there are no codes. I think I will proceed with putting in the autozone filter, and ordering one from Pelican Parts. If the autozone one dies I will have the backup, otherwise I will probably wait and swap it again on the next oil change. Sounds reasonable?

And you verified that the fuel pump relay is energizing, correct? Sorry...

I haven't verified the relay I was reading on this, and apparently one can test with the horn relay. I have not been able to locate my multimeter since I moved back in January. I need to order a new one through work. I might see about getting a new relay from autozone too if it is as cheap as they say, around $8. Do you have a link of how to test it? I will search otherwise I am sure it is on a forum somewhere.
