My car will start but dies before I move, my brother believes I need to replace fuel filter and pump. He's not sure where it's located on this model? If you can help with the location or what other possibilities may cause this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again, Tori

Fuel pumps in the tank. First I woudl have to ask some questions first before I can make a guess.

Recent repairs?

Tune up?

Gas in the tank?

To add to what Blacktop said, do not guess, have the fuel pressure tested with a mechanical gauge before replacing the pump.

Yes it is much cheaper and easier to rent/buy a check guage and check the pressure then to put in a brand new pump and find out that aint the problem.
