[QUOTE="Stopsign32v, post: 3687229, member: 4133"] Yes and no...water could cause the flame in the cylinders to not burn near as strong so there you would see a lack of power. However right now in summer I don't think you would have water in the gas because of so many people getting gas it doesn't have time to form water in the tanks. (I suppose he could have gotten gas at a station that doesn't see much traffic though) As far as having sediments in the gas, I have never seen this. Not saying it doesn't happen but I haven't seen it. I do however remember reading a while back of a trend across the country of people putting skittles and things like that in the nozzle tube of the gas handle on the pump. :fm: So yes bad gas will hurt performance but a filter will not more than likely. Especially seeing as how his engine doesn't ask for that much fuel. My 95 had the original fuel filter in it from 1995 and I changed it not long ago and saw 0 difference in the car. That was a fuel filter with 115k miles on it. The best thing he can do is first run for any codes, if none come up wait until all of the gas he has in the tank is cycled through. Run some fuel injector cleaner and new gas. Go from there if the problem still surfaces. [/QUOTE]
