Hello,

This car has what they call a lifetime fuel filter even though sometimes they can plug up. The fuel filter is located in the fuel tank. Which will need to be remove to get the filter out. Some cars have a trap door for the fuel pump and filter and it looks like you car is one of them but if not here is a guide that will give you an idea of what you are in for when doing the job.

Service and Repair
Notes

The fuel filter should be replaced whenever the fuel pressure drops below the specified value (270 - 320 kPa, 2.8 - 3.3 kgf/sq.cm, 40 - 47 psi) , after making sure that the fuel pump and the fuel pressure regulator are OK.

Remove the fuel pump.


https://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/12900_filter_3.jpg



Remove the fuel filter (A).
Install in the reverse order of removal with a new base gasket (B) and a new O-ring (C), then check these items:
When connecting the wire harness, make sure the connection is secure and the terminal (D) is firmly locked into place.
When installing the fuel gauge sending unit (E), make sure the connection is secure and the connector is firmly locked into place. Be careful not to bend or twist it excessively.

My 2002 Honda CRV 4wd shuts down when I come to a stop. It no longer idles. I can easily start it again and as long as I keep the RPMs up, the car functions fine. Is this a fuel pump issue?

With vehicle lift you can get it done in 1 hour, without the lift suspect a 2 hour job.
