Where is the fuel filter located in a 2002 Buick Rendevous?

Sent to Car Experts September 10, 2005 6:30 p.m.

The check engine light is on and there is very little power. I changed the air filter and am now going to change the fuel filter. Plugs and wires will be next. Any suggestions?

Stop throwing parts at it. You may be miles off.

That is a warning light that comes on if the computerized engine control system detects an engine performance or emissions problem. Also called the "malfunction indicator lamp" (MIL).

Your first step is to have the computer scanned to retreive the trouble codes that were set when the check engine light came on. Those codes will get you pointed in the right direction. With a 1996 or newer car and you have an AutoZone in your area, they will read them for free.
