i wouldn't think so....

you might just keep the key
in the "on" position for a couple
of seconds before trying to start,
to allow the pressure to build up....

WIX Part # 33243 {Fuel Filter} at Rock Auto or $8.60 MOTORCRAFT Part # FG1083 {1 Outlet}at Rock Auto $12.79

http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...,parttype,6200

It's located under the driver's left butt check. Will need a fuel filter wrench as well, cheap and can get it at any Autozone/Pep Boys, etc. Can swap it out in a few minutes.

I just changed my filter last weekend. You DO need the little plastic tool that snaps onto the line on the filter and is then pushed into the hose fitting to release the lock. It's only a couple of bucks for it if my memory is right.

You all have it wrong....once done you walk around the car backwards 3 times then go to the rear of the rear of the car and scramble some chicken bones...look upward and mumble some jibberish.
