The fuel filter for this vehicle is located in tank.

Check engine light on
Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.

Thank you for replying rasmataz, my wife tends to run the tank until the fuel light comes on, do you think that it's pulling all of the junk off of the bottom of the tank? the filter has never been changed!
