See post #3. You said your problem started with a different fuel filter. Replace it with a stock filter and see what happens. It may not improve your situation but at least you haven't compounded your problem by having an unknown in the mix.
So its been a while.... What was the end result ?I totally understand. Electrical is not my specialty and I have a shit $20 code reader from amazon. I'll submit to the fact that I can't fix everything myself and take it to a pro. I do appreciate everyone's thoughts and suggestions!
