Hello,

The fuel filter is located under the car near the rear. You must jack the car up, here is a guide to help you with that.

Here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when doing the repair.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken

Look on the engine compartment rear driver's side along the frame.

Why would I need to raise the vehicle when changing the fuel filter?

Locate the filter near right rear tire, there is a plastic clip at each end, spread it with your finger and remove it, if your filter did not come with new ones, try not to break it! Reapeat at other end, unbolt filter and remove! Have a bucket under the work area to catch spilled gas!

I did not find the fuel filter in that location. I found one underhood on driverside. I replaced it.

I have a "check engine" light on. I had same problem 18 month ago. I brougt to the deller and a repair was made. Now it back again. A machnic told me that it could be TPS problem which cause by fuel filter. I change the filter, the light still on. Any help will appriciate.

Thanks
