ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    Lower RPM's?

    So i changed my fuel filter today. I had my mechanic take care of it because it's so hard to get to. But anyhow, he took the old one out, and showed me it. He said it was in extreme need of replacing- black stuff was coming out of it when he took it out and blew into it to show me how bad off it was.

    So im driving home today, and the car feels so much smoother.. Like, it's not like it ever ran rough to begin with, but it FEELS like the car is able to shift at much lower RPM's. For instance, often times from a stop and go, the car would shift out of 1st at 4,000 RPMs. But now it seems like with that same acceleration, it shifts at about 3,000RPM's... And no, its not like my driving habbits have changed, but it just seems like the car is now shifting thru the gears at much lower RPM's..

    So my question is - Could an extremely bad fuel filter of caused the high shifting? and replacing the filter has made it return to normal?

    is that possible as far as the fuel filter goes?

    Sorry for the extended post.


    Thanks
