In the tank. No real reason to change it

It felt like at times when I started the car the gas line seemed clogged, like it was gonna stall, it didnt happen a lot, but their was a similar problem a couple of years ago, not on an acura, but I changed the fuel filter and it didnt happen anymore.

Does anyone know of any fuel injection cleaner which are good to use or anything that might help this problem, Thank You.

Chevron with techron is very good - or if you want to spend more (some swear by the stuff - though I used it and couldnt tell a thing) BG 44

the stalling you are talking about is probably because your EGR valve is somewhat clogged. read this thread - https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ighlight=valve

Hi, I notice you are from NY also. Maybe the cold is what making your car acting that way? Might need to change oil too?

My car felt a little clog today for the first time, but I left it out for about 3 day without starting on the street, so that might be because of how cold it has been, it hasn't done it again.

if you havent used any fuel system cleaner in a while, you may need to put in another bottle with your next tank for it to really clean it out.
