Where is the fuel filter located? It has been stalling out at times when I'm driving.

Hi:

I attached a picture of the filter location as well as the directions for replacement. The first picture shows location and the remaining pictures correlate with the directions.

Also, here is a link you may find helpful. It shows in general how one is replaced.

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-change-a-fuel-filter

WARNING:
- Do not smoke while working on fuel system. Keep open flame away from your work area.
- While replacing the fuel filter, be careful to keep a safe distance between battery terminals and any tools.

The fuel filter should be replaced whenever the fuel pressure drops below 270 - 320 kPa (2.8 - 3.2 kg/Sq.cm, 40 - 47 psi) with the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose disconnected and pinched] after making sure that the fuel pump and the fuel pressure regulator are OK.

1. Place a shop towel under and around the fuel filter.
2. Relieve fuel pressure.
3. Remove the engine wire harness bracket and power steering feed hose clamp.


4. Remove the banjo bolt and the fuel feed pipe while supporting the fuel filter with another wrench, as shown.
5. Remove the fuel filter clamp and fuel filter.
6. Install the new fuel filter in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- When assembling, use new washers as shown.
- Clean the flared joint of high pressure hoses thoroughly before reconnecting them.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.
