The truck is bogging down when I give it gas and won’t let me go over 20-30 MPH. When I give it gas it’s like it’s not getting enough and it’s shutting off.

Hi,

The fuel filter is in the fuel tank and part of the fuel pump assembly. I attached two pics below showing the location.

Let me know if this is what you needed.

Take care,

Joe

if it is a first generation Tacoma 4cyl ,look under the exhaust manifold and above the starter , should be between the them,. if you want you can move it to the top of the fender well ,takes about 1/2 day to do but wow! makes it 100 times easer to change it in the future, go on line type in " gen.1 fuel filter mod."
