    This document provides instructions for replacing a vehicle's fuel filter and air cleaner. It describes locating the fuel filter, which is near the power steering reservoir. It recommends removing the entire air cleaner housing to provide better access. The steps include removing the snorkel tube and air cleaner housing cover, disconnecting the mass air flow sensor electrical connector, and rotating the sensor to unlock it from the housing. With the housing removed, there is space to work on the fuel filter, which involves disconnecting fuel lines using wrenches. Replacing the air filter is also described as part of regular vehicle maintenance.

    CHECK/REPLACE FUEL FILTER AND AIR CLEANER

    Procedure
     
    Rest the vehicle for 24 hours to let any remaining
    fuel pressure bleed off.
     
    Check valves in the fuel lines are meant to maintain
    pressure to help prevent vapor lock.
     
    Locate the fuel filter.
    Note: The fuel filter is located on the right side
    of the engine bay just in front of the power
    steering fluid reservoir. To provide room to
    work it is highly recommended you remove
    the entire air cleaner housing.
    Note: Location of fuel filter depends on the
    model of the engine
    •
    •
    • Remove the "snorkel tube" from the front of
    the air cleaner housing. This is a friction fit
    and if you squeeze the sides you should be
    able to easily pop it out. Undo the two clips
    holding the air cleaner housing cover on and
    remove the cover and air filter inside the
    housing
    The mass air flow sensor has to be rotated
    forward towards the front of the car to unlock
    the bayonet lock that holds the air cleaner
    housing and mass air flow sensor together 
    Disconnect the electrical connector to
    the mass air flow sensor by turning the
    plastic locking ring and then gently pulling
    the connector off of the mass air flow
    sensor 
     
    The mass air flow sensor can now be
    rotated forward towards the front of the car
    to unlock the bayonet lock between it and
    the air cleaner housing. Rotate the mass air
    flow sensor forward about 1 inch to
    completely disengage the lock.
    The air cleaner housing sits on two
    rubber mounts. The housing can now be
    lifted up about 3/4" to clear these mounts
    and then it can be separated from the mass
    air flow sensor.
    Now that the air cleaner housing is out of
    the way there is plenty of room in which to
    work. You'll need a good supply of rags and
    a small can to catch the gas that will
    inevitably come out of the filter. Remove the
    connection near the rear of the car first.
    Used a 19mm open wrench on the filter side
    nut to hold the filter steady and a 19mm
    flare wrench on the fuel line nut to break
    the connection.

    Changing the air filter should be part of
    any major tune-up, but if you drive on dirt
    roads or in other dusty conditions, you will
    need to replace it more frequently. On most
    cars, this is a fairly simple procedure. You
    should change your car's air filter every
    15,000 miles.Open the hood.

    Locate your air filter, usually found on top
    of the engine. On cars with carburetors it is
    in a round piece of metal about the size of a
    medium pizza; fuel-injected cars have
    square or rectangular air filter housings that
    may be off to the side of the engine.

    •
    Unscrew or unclamp the top to the air
    filter housing.
    Lift out the air filter. It should be a round
    or rectangular filter made of paper or
    plastic, with a rubber rim.
    Clean out any dirt or bugs from the inside
    of the air filter housing with a rag.
    Replace the filter with a new filter.
    Consult your manual to determine the
    proper filter for your car.
    • Warning: Avoid using the wrong size air filter.
    Your engine will run less efficiently. 
    • Note: Reusable air filters cost more than
    disposable filters, but if cared for correctly,
    they can last for over 50,000 miles. 
    • Another good way to make your air filter last is to
    actually use a vacuum cleaner. Simply take the
    filter out and with the small attachments from
    the vacuum, suck out the dust and dirt. Good
    as new and it will make your filter last a littler
    longer.
