The manual states it is in the fuel tank, attached to the pump assembly. But the manual also has a picture of a fuel filter mounted near the firewall. I would look for the one in the engine compartment first

If you remove the rear seats, you should be able to see a panel cover for access to the fuel pump housing and wire connectors.

You're welcome.

There is a filter which is supposedly maintenance free, however they do fail at times, and is attached to the fuel pump.

Both 1998 and 200 year models are similar.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.
