I dont think mine has ever been changed eather. I looked through the records and I didnt see it there. But its also been sitting for 2 years before I got it at the dealership.

I was thinking about changing it...I dont think there would be any drawbacks..

well ive been having this thing lately where when i start my car either for the first time that day or the first time after its been sitting there and ill step on the gas and it will act like its running outta gas like kinda stoppin and going and ill have to mash on the gas and finally it will be ok...sorry for long A$$ run on sentence.....lol

i would replace it, you will get better mileage and better fuel flow its like if your air filter is dirty it resitricts airflow, same thing with a fuel filter but with gas

i kind of hvae the same thing, specially when i'm low on gas. When i start my car sometimes it hesitates and i have to push the gas to get it to stay runnign, but hten its just fine.

Since lack of fuel does lean the mixture, I don't think gas mileage would be worth, but it's still has to be relaced time to time. I believe the intermittent problem with semi-hot start that I had on my 92' has been solved with fuel filter replacement.
Shop manual recommends this every 60K miles or 4 years for 92-95.
