Could it be a bad fuel pump? If it was me...I could be finding out where the slurping noise by the filter is coming from.

You would think that a lean fuel condition would give a check engine light.

check the seals on the filter housing it could be leaking in the tank.

Thanks way. Iv had nothing but problems the past week. New coil and filter i think its fixed but its leaking gas on top of tank so i think i didn't get it tight enough or the seal in good enough. That might be what's making the noise.

Check out your ignition, specifically your wires and coil pack. I had misfiring issues and it was due to bad ignition wires. Spray water on them in the dark and look for arcing electricity. if you don't see anything, they're good.
