Where's the fuel filter?
I have a 2002 4Runner with the S/C. Recently, when I accelerate under normal conditions, when it hits 2700-2900 RPM, the vehicle loses all power and drops to around 2000RPM. It's become quite annoying. Anyway, I've been instructed to locate the fuel filter and inspect it for debris or anything else out of the ordinary. So where is it in a 3rd Gen? Also, does my problem sound familiar or do you have any more suggestions?
Thanks,
Blue

But yours could be fuel related also. Good Luck.

Rob: Thats right on the money! Nice that you have that available.
Blue: Make sure you replace it somewhere that you don't mind fuel dripping. The system is under some pressure and will leak about a half of a cup, if that. Piece of cake, maybe 10 min.

Man, I wish my fuel filter was that easy to get too. A lot less curse words would have been used if it was.
By the way, some folks here said to unscrew the gas cap to let off the pressure before changing the filter. Might save you a little fuel.
