Engine Performance problem 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 160000 miles

This is in the category that the truck stalls while driving it. It will just die. Then if you sit there for about 2 minutes & start it up it will start again. Wanted to check the filter but don't know where it is located & can't seem to locate the fuel pump either. Could you tell me where they are located & if they could be causing the problem I printed out your probable causes for this & will try them when I get home today. Is the fuel filter & pump in the gas tank?

Thank you!

When you say back of engine do you mean on the firewall?

No, it will be on the rear of the cylinder head if it is has a carburetor. Manual trans is on the back of the head.... Auto is in the fuel tank. No FI in 1988.
