Best Answer

You might experience some loss of power or lagging. If the filter is dirty and/or clogged, insufficient fuel reaches the engine. It can get to the point where the car may not start at all.

If you're in doubt about changing it, go ahead and change it! It's about a $10 part and the job should only take about 30 minutes.

If you pick up a Haynes or Chilton manual for the car, it will walk you through

the steps in the filter change process.
