My car starts up fine when it sits, won't start after driving though. It has to sit. I'm pretty sure it's the fuel filter. I'm trying to figure out where that is and anything else it could be.

Hello,

I have included for you in the diagrams down below the information that you requested on the fuel filter. If that checks out okay, you might want to take a look at your vehicle's Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP). When they start to fail the exhibit symptoms just like you are describing. I have included information on the CKP in the diagrams down below also. I have included a few links below for you as well.

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,

Good afternoon,

I attached pictures of the location of the filter for you.

I also attached pictures of the fuel pump. It is under the back seat of the car.
