Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

It is on the frame rail near the tank. You may or may not need a tool depending on what type of clips hold it in, there are a couple different types. It is about $15.00 at Advance auto if you need it.

Hello,

Sorry about your daughter passing. I will help you get the car fixed. First I am assuming the engine is cranking over but not starting? This cars had two problems that would make them not start. First is the fuel pump in the tank has gone out (BTW your car doesn't have a fuel filter) and second is the crankshaft angle sensor has gone out.

You will need to see if the engine has spark first.

if you don't find spark suspect the cranks angle sensor here is a guide to show you what you are in for when doing the job.

If you don't have spark then lets check for fuel pressure.

If the pump has gone bad you will need to drop the tank to change it. Here are some diagrams below to show you what you are in for.

Please let us know what happens, we are interested to see what it is.

Hi,

First, if you got water in the fuel, the engine would buck or not run. A rough idle is most likely caused by a sensor. Is the check engine light on? Have you ever had the computer scanned for trouble codes? Most nationally recognized parts stores will do it for free. I recommend having it done. Let me know what you find.

Regardless, the filter is mounted to the inner side of the frame rail (driver's side).

Let me know if this helps, or if you have any other questions.
