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

Is the check engine light showing. Could be a fault not related to the filter?

High Pressure Fuel Filter
The high pressure fuel filter is used to protect engine fuel system components. This filter is a natural gas coalescing and particulate filter and is located on high pressure side of fuel system. 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.
