Over the last week or so, I have noticed my 2001 Grand Prix didn't feel right/had lost some of its power. Yeasterday, things got worse. The thing will go no more than 40 MPH and it sputters when you try and increase speed. My first thought was fuel filter (81,000 miles - never changed). My mechanic also independently thought fuel filter so he changed it. It made no difference. There are no codes thrown (he tells me) and the fuel pressure is apparently OK. He now thinks that perhaps the clogged fuel filter (yes it was) may have caused the line in the fuel tank to burst partially due to buildup of pressure. With pressure at the fuel rail OK, does that sound right? He mentionmed that while pressure was OK, perhaps the volume was not. Sounds plausible? Any ideas as to what the problem might be are welcomed. Thanks.
