I had a new fuel filter installed on my car on 1-6-09 and now when I start up my car it acts sluggish until I get going. I am taking it back to where I had the fuel filter installed and they are going to look at it.

Could they have forgotten to hook something back up?

Thank you. Mary

Filter is part of regulator assembly. Filter can be disassembled to service the element. Drain plug on bottom of filter housing can be removed to drain any accumulated water.
