at about 37k miles my fuel filter died and took the pump with it... at least that's what the shop said and i makes some sense that a clogged filter could kill a pump... though my honda survived which quite a bit of abuse (clogged filter). Shouldn't have to be changed for like 60k miles, but oh well. i want to say i felt it hesitate a few times on the highway before that when using cruise control, but who knows. I never got a warning code for that though, it just died.
I get P0140 "small evap emission control leak" about every 1k-3k miles (about once every month or two). I heard 3 things can typically cuase it, gas cap, purge valve and i don't know the 3rd. I've changed none of them though i have a purge valve ready... i'm lazy just because i hate to change something non-critical that really isn't malfunctioning but evey once in a while.
Hey, while were on this subject, my fuel gage stops moving just after i hit the 4 gallon mark when the fuel light comes on. Doesn't really bug me because it does a good job tellin me when i have 4 gallons left, and i know my mileage, but any quick service i can do?... or ask a shop to do?
THis happened with my fuel pump/filter death. Any reason i can blame the shop who did the fix?, or the fuel level meter just took some damage in the fall?
Thanks ahead of time.
