Where is the fuel filter located? The car will go 40 mph but if you press on the gas to go faster it slows down. Will maintain the 40 mph fairly well.

Hello,

The fuel filter is in the fuel tank attached to the fuel pump. It sounds like the pump is going bad or you have a plugged catalytic converter.

Here are some guides and diagrams (Below) to help you get the problem fixed.

To drain the fuel before you begin to change the fuel filter.
