you should not hesitate to check the fuel filter for loosening
Agreed. I have a compelling but unverified suspicion that FFS inhibits the sparks. I've long suspected it's the ECU's response to low fuel pressure and is logical. I picked up on this when FFS first appeared almost twenty years ago, but I can't recall anyone specifically making the sparks connection. However, everything I've read here is in line with this proposal. Quod erat faciendum if you will. It seems inevitable then, that an examination of the fuel filter is necessary. For sure, the way this problem first appeared is classic FFS.
