    I'm talking about the fuel filter, not the oil filter. It could be so plugged that the car has trouble providing the proper fuel pressure to the fuel rail. Fuel injectors normally need around 45 psi to operate properly.

    If the fuel filter is fine, the next steps would be to check the operation of the fuel sending unit, fuel pump (pressure), and fuel pressure regulator.

    How about water in the gas. Try a can of Dry Gas at the time of the next fill. This problem usually suddenly appears shortly after getting gas.

    I'll try that thank you. Unfortunately it is at the repair shop now. It stalled in traffic yesterday 3 times. I had trouble starting it the first stall. But it got me home. Hopefully the mechanic will help my poor car.
