big improvement after changing the fuel filter

hey,
just swapped the fuel filter this weekend after 46k miles. i was having problems after initial, cold engine startup. there was a bit of stumbling. also, idle was not smooth anymore. plugs are new and gapped, air filter is clean, techron in the tank, chevron 91 religously. the last step was the fuel filter.
immediately, the problems are gone. i believe the filter was starting to restict fuel flow at low pressures as idle is smoother and the engine has more power just off idle (ie pulling out in first gear).
i'd highly recommend having a look at this if you have more then 35k miles on yours. it only costs about $20 shipped with 4 washers from eeuroparts.com and takes about a half-hour to change going really slow.
btw, the filter is located underneath the car, in front of the passenger side rear wheel. there is a nice plastic skid plate to remove to access the filter.
have a good one,
f
