Isn't the fuel filter internal to the float devise and "lifetime"? I thought that entire float assy had to be swapped. May be later models.

Plugs made a HUGE idle difference to my car. Very smooth. And do clean the TB.

I tell you what I do not care for is removing the TB . I have dropped the studs several times trying to get that bottom right one out .

Take the air intake loose, remove the brace bolt at the bottom of the TB, loosen the two c clamps on the air plenums and rotate the TB upwards to access whatever you need to access. I might be making this too simple.

Plugs? Or possibly cracked coils - there could be a bit of residual moisture that goes once the car warms up...
