Disconnect the battery for 2 minutes, reconnect it, crank the engine and
then re-check the codes. If you see an 11, your distributor pickup is in
need of replacement. A fuel filter that is "several years old" is very
likely in dire need of replacement. And you can check the fuel injector by
removing the air cleaner assembly and peering down the throttle body
throat while someone else cranks the engine. You should see atomized
gasoline hitting the throttle plate.
