A dirty fuel filter makes itself known at high fuel flow rates. To check for
fuel delivery problems in general (pump, pressure regulator, filter, etc), put
a pressure gauge on the fuel rail and watch what it does when fuel demand is
high.

Subject: 2002 Bucking Without CEL - Fuel Filter to Blame?
All,
I replaced the plugs and wires last night have have driven to work and
back twice on them so far. Thing still doesn't feel right but hasn't bucked
yet. What I noticed this morning was small hesitations or misses and a general
"flat" feeling from the engine. Not sure if it meant that the computer was
dialing back timing or what. Definitely uncomfortable feeling--as if something
worse was always about to happen. The lumps are subtle but definitely there. I
should stress that I've been running VERY light throttle levels lately--I'm a
bit scared of something happening if I were to try to punch it!
Would a fuel filter be the cause of this stuff? I mean, the plugs and
wires I installed are factory fresh. I should mention again that I'm just shy
of 60k on the clock and none of the standard 60k items (aside from plugs and
wires now) have been done.
