Hi, my car is stop working be cause a fuel pump quit working. I changed a fuel pump to another one. I tested a fuel pump it is working good. But now my car is working but after 1 or 2 minute is going of again. I don't know why and don't know where is a gasoline filter? Every one tell me my car does not have a gasoline filter. This is right?
or if it does where is it located?

Hi,

It has a fuel filter that is in the fuel tank. Here are the directions for replacement. You will need to remove the fuel pump. The attached pics correlate with the directions.
