There could be several symptoms such as lack of power, engine idles but won't rev up, check engine code(s) about lean conditions or random misfire and with a totally clogged fuel filter the engine won't run at all.

Possibly. Replace the fuel filter to see if that solves your problems.


What does the fuel filter effect?

Pretty much the entire fuel system. It gets clogged, the engine gets starved of fuel, and it either doesn't run or else it runs very poorly.


What would cause a 1991 Jeep Wrangler to stall and die and not restart?

It could be a clogged fuel filter, a bad fuel pump, or a loose wire. If the engine starts up after a few minutes and runs for a short while, the fuel pump and wiring are good and the filter is most likely clogged, If the engine will not restart at all, start by looking for a loose or disconnected wire before taking on the task of working on the fuel pump.

Mtd snowblower runs only when you keep pushing the primer?

Apparently the engine does not get sufficient fuel unless you keep pushing the primer button. First of all, check the fuel filter to see if it may be dirty/clogged. If the fuel filter is ok, open the carburetor needle valve 1/8 turn to increase the fuel flow.

Why car starts and in 2sec goes off. its hard to turn on again. have to wait couple hours to start again?

Fuel filter could be clogged, try fuel injection cleaner if it runs better then it is a clogged fuel filter. Keep in mind you might have to pump the gas pedal to keep it running.


How do you check for clogged fuel lines?

Never seen a clogged fuel line unless it was kinked or crushed. Do a visual inspection for damage then replace the fuel filter and do a fuel pressure test. Fuel lines can get clogged if foreign objects (rags etc.) have been dropped into the fuel tank. Disconnect both ends and blow through. It is not sufficient to diconnect the engine side and see if the fuel runs out. Most modern cars with fuel injection have a tank pump, which would stop the natural flow under gravity.


1985 cutlass supreme runs but won't stay started whats the problem?

It takes 3 things for an engine to run. Fuel/Air/Spark. Which one of these are you missing? You say it runs but won't stay started. Do you mean it starts, runs, and then stalls. If so, I would suspect a fuel delivery problem. Clogged fuel filter, or defective fuel pump or fuel pump relay would be suspect.
