I have some acceleration issues on my car I think fuel filter has clogged, but I can’t find the fuel filter, so anyone please help to find out?

Hello Selva Priyan,

The fuel filter is under the right side of the vehicle, just forward of the rear suspension trailing arm. I added a picture from my technician's reference manual for you.

I am also adding the process to release the fuel pressure, how to remove and replace the filter, as well as the procedure to prime the fuel system after the filter is installed.

Let me know if I can help further.

Thank you,
Brendon
