And now im having problems with it. i was driving and it like stalled (no i did not let off the clutch in gear!) and then it would turn over but not start and my dad said it would probally be my fuel filter, and i have no clue!!! [&:] I dont know whats wrong with it or how to even replace a fuel filter and the guy at firestone told me he was gonna charge me 187 + tax just to replace the fuel filter and he cant even guarantee that is what it is!!!!

or do it yourself. Get a repair manual and buy a filter (~$20) its quite easy

It may be the fuel pump going bad also...Sometimes when they go bad and they are hot when driving the car for a while, it'll make the car stall and when it cools off it'll fire up but it'll do the same once it gets hot again..It happened to me before with a Cavalier I once owned (junk!) and it ran fine when I replaced the fuel pump.

i had a similar problem with the motor home that i used to tow the drag car...when the pump would get hot,it would stop working..once it cooled down, it was fine...dont go by what a moron at firestone says...check around for second opinions..places that dont have rack fees...
