Replace fuel filter and fuel pump. Fuel filter had never been changed, after changing a CEL came on for too low of duty cycle on fuel pump.

Deciding to preventatively change the pump although it appeared to work fine. New fuel pump is around 50%. I believe the pump had premature wear due to the fuel filter never being changed. |
