My parents just bought me my first car. It ran fine for the last two weeks. Been using ethanol gasoline. Dad thinks it's a fuel filter, and if so where is it located? Possibility fuel pump? With a light foot it runs just fine, but if I need to accelerate quickly it loses power and hesitates. Any information will be helpful. This is my first car.

My car broke down on saturday. We took it to the nissan dealership and they checked it out. It looks like our suspicions where wrong. It turned out to be the air flow meter. Going to cost about 350, but I guess it's worth putting into a good car.
