Due to some rather poor engine performance (14 MPG) and recently replacing the tires and changing the oil, I felt that the problem might lie with a dirty air filter. I went out and got the air filter today, and went under the hood. I found the four clips that were holding the box down and unclipped them, but the part that attaches to the air filter house prevents me from moving the cover enough to remove the old filter or put in the new filter. Is there anything I need to unscrew or remove in order to get access to the air filter?
