Anyone ever have a problem with one of these? It seems pretty rare.

After having my car sit overnight, I notice it takes longer to start. When I have fuel cleaner in the tank (b12, seafoam), it doesn't do it anymore. I'll also see right at that first mile of driving, the wideband goes lean for a second and bogs...then it'll be fine the rest of the day.

I was just wondering if this was a possibility, as I know my car has been know to sit for weeks at a time and used in short distance driving....in the past.

The only filter is the pump pickup sock.

Talking about replacing it...

This link has a picture in the service manual that points to the filter I am talking about. ( letter A) It states that it could be the problem if the fuel pressure falls under the 47-55 psi range when the vacuum hose is pinched.

it is supposed to have an internal filter there, in our part of the world Honda doesn't mention replacing it at all, its considered a lifetime filter. In other parts of the world they recommend changing it.

Is there anything else that can cause low fuel pressure, like the regulator itself or a bad pump?

Im more curious than anything My pump and regulator were replaced recently. I suppose I grab a fuel gauge and see what's happening.

I would think if it's called a filter in the diagram and there is a possibility of it clogging than it could happen sooner than the life of the car.

I would suspect the fuel cleaner has broken up some stuff in the tank and it may be cloging the sock. Check fuel pressure, if low, you'll have to pull the pump and take a look.

The only Filter in that part is the pickup sock, there isn't one in the housing.

Inside the fuel housing...

Honda of Australia recommends changing that part out every few years on the s2k, it's part of their recommended maintenance schedule. That was the first I've ever heard of it when some aussie s2k owners mentioned it on these forums. Like I said above, in North America it is considered a lifetime part as there is no recommended replacement schedule for it. Unless they pull out the filter for the North American market, but I doubt they would do that. I'd only consider it if I had fuel pressure problems and everything else checked out.

It seems that on the s2k we have the sock which is a pre-filter, the internal filter as part of the housing, and then there is a tiny plastic screen filter that sits in the fuel rail under the fpr. I also believe that the fuel injectors have their own filters built into the tops.

Well, the part is only $38 shipped. I dont see why it would be such a big deal to just replace it if youre already changing out the fuel pump.
