Ok i was puttin out in some traffic from my neighbor hood road. I pulled out and got straight on the high way and nailed it from about 15 i spun sideways a little bit and caught.I noticed in the higher rpms i can feel my car sluggin a little bit. Almost like tiny jerks you can barly feel. It act like it has a fuel problem. Lack of fuel at higher rpms maybe. Its from about 4k - redline. Anyone have any suggestions on what it might be.

fuel filter is towards the back near the gas tank, if you have a choltons book it'll tell you exactly where it is (good investment for our cars btw should consider buying one)

on your year you can do the fuel filter pretty easy, some require a little tool to take the lines off. Just be prepared to catch some fuel with your mouth and all will be good.

just run injection cleaner on half a tank of gas, and get the good stuff (its expensive... like 8 bucks a bottle but its good)
you can get your injectors out pretty easy and clean them~ or replace them for cheap as well im sure.
