DoctorBill Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 OK...maybe my Fuel Filter (FF) is getting plugged up - Starting Issues. Cannot find my Chilton Manual, so I'll ask here - where is the FF ? If it is beside the Fuel Tank, screw that... On my '93 Geo Metro, the FF was beside the Tank and a real mother to get at. So I removed it, bypassed it with some HP Fuel line and spliced the FF into the HP Fuel line in the Engine Compartment... Works fine and I can quite easily change it now.

Kingman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 It's right next to the power steering fluid reservoir. You'll see a clamp that's holding a cylinder with black fuel lines going in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Yeah, it is about the size of a small oil filter, silver, hose in bottom hose out top, can't miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DN1CK Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Like they said it should be on the passenger side fender well area, silver metallic color between the size of a can of pop and the oil filter. Follow the black hose from the intake manifold that runs down toward the right front wheel. The flat side should be facing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorBill Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) That's great - up front and easy to get at. I should have changed it immediately that I bought the Vehicle ! $10 to $15 at Shuck's. My Jeep's FF is $35 ! I'll do it this coming week. Partially plugged fuel filters can play hell with running the engine. Some days fine - other days problems. Been there, done that.

Terrano1992 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) I'll do it this coming week. Remember to release fuel pressure and open fuel tank cap first, to prevent fuel spraying and spilling around all engine bay... Partially plugged fuel filters can play hell with running the engine. Sure, but significant power loss at full throttle is a first and main symptom of clogged fuel filter. Filter replacement will not hurt anyway, but i doubt that the filter is a root of your cold start problems.
