It just started doing this we drive it three miles on the high way then when we stop at a stop sign it just quits running and it's real hard to get it started and it turns over real good but won't start now I guessing ful filter and what else could it be and can you tell me where the filter is located and how much one cost. Thank You

The fuel filter is located on the left side frame member.

Do below and get back with some results if its not the fuel filter.

Cranks but no start condition:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
