Fuel Filter?

Could be a fuel filter and pick-up sock in fuel tank is clogged-up, exhaust system is restricted and transmission slipping-Dunno about prices it varies with location-check with tranny shops-

thank u very much ill have to drive the 2 hrs and get car to a mechanic and see what they say is there anyways of my just trying car in any gear to tell if tranny is slipping ? or exhaust restricted sorry for dumb question lol

Make sure the engine is fully warmed-up and then check transmission fluid level if okay put shift gear in all gears a couple times and then attempt to move it-won't move have it further checked out-

where is the fuel filter located?

The fuel filter is located under the vehicle on passenger side frame rail just ahead of the rear wheel.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION


The fuel filter is a square assembly located at the back of the engine above the intake manifold. Disconnect the fuel lines in order to remove the filter. When installing, carefully thread and tighten the lines to the new filter. Start the engine and check for leaks.

Let me know if this helps.

my car losses accleration going up hill, it wont pick up speed until im back on flat land. we checked and it wasnt the fuel filter or catyltic converter

Dirty fuel injectors (cleaning the injectors often fixes this).
Bad MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)

Sometimes, what feels like a hesitation is actually ignition misfire rather than lean misfire. The causes of ignition misfire may include:

Dirty or worn spark plugs
Bad plug wires
Weak ignition coil
Wet plug wires

fuel filter locations

There are three types of fuel filters; internal (in the carburetor fitting), inline (in the fuel line) and in-tank (the sock on the fuel pickup tube).

where is the fuel filter loacted? and what else might be the problem?turning over but wont start. fuel related. fuel pump seems to be working.gas in car. just wont start and has gas in it.

Welcome to the site. If the engine is carbed, it should be a mechanical fuel pump not electric. What is the litre size of engine? With a carbed engine the fuel supply line should screw into the fuel filter housing.

I've recently just put a rebuilt quad jet carb in the car! in it was driving kool for 8hrs and then when i was driving i gas it an then it shut off ! i started it back up and gas it again to park it it cut off again ! thts the reseason why i replace the carburetor and naw its doin it again with the new carb and i replace the fuel filter!! so can it be the fuel pump!

Check fuel pressure and delivery should be around 4psi and deliver a pint in 15sec.

where do i check the fuel pressure at!

Remove line from carb using a vacuum/pressure gague put hose on end of line crank
