if they changed the Fuel FILTER, it has nothing to do with a clogged intake screen (located on the pump ITSELF.

two completely different things. The pump has two intakes, and upper and a lower. (the lower being there so it can still get fuel when you reach the 1/2 point or lower.

Because that intake is the lower one, it sits at the lowest point, and the sludge in your tank clogs what is called a sock filter.

When you are above 1/2 tank, the fuel can enter through the other intake, but afterwards the fuel cannot enter through the lower intake (due to dirty sock filter.) you can remove it comepletely from the pump itself, as the pump has another internal one that isn't of such a fine design (sock is TOO fine, and gets clogged)

Simply changing the fuel filter (located on the undercarriage, passenger side) is NOT related.

Simply stated: if you see your IMRC working, look in to removing the sock (or cleaning it.. up to you) in the tank.. accessible through the rear seat, from within the cabin.
