Is it hard to change the fuel filter on a 2002 sunfire?

Its a 2002 sunfire 2.2L non-ecotec. And where is the fuel filter located at?

On your 2002 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2L SFI , the Fuel Filter is located:



Under vehicle, center, below rear seating area, rear passenger side of fuel tank, mounted in fuel line



You have to depressurize the fuel injection pressured lines first so that the gasoline doesn't squirt all over and in your face when you disconnect the fuel filter. I recommend having it done at an independent garage. Unless you've run out of or real low on gas or have over 50,000 miles on the filter, I wouldn't bother replacing it yet. I change mine at 80,000 miles and have never had a problem. Your owner's manual probably does not specify a fuel filter change interval and many people will change them at much lower mileages because they simply don't know when they need changing!

It's not hard it is under the car at the rear on the left all you'll need is a 5/8s and a 3/4 %26quot; wrenches and a drain bucket

It will only take ya about 20-35 mins. for the first time and maby 10-15 the next time.

if you'r doing the fuel filter it would be a good idea to do the air as well if you have'nt and do this every 20k mils or once a year the filters are what $40.00 for the two a pump is between 3-750 dollars ouch

and don't let your gas get below 1/4 tank it's the fuel that keeps the pump cool and lubed and the more fuel in the tank the less you stir up durt and or sand in the tank

hope this helps

GOOD LUCK BRAD A
