Question

where is the fuel filter located on a 2002 pontiac grand am?

Answer 1

As with all General Motors products built after 1972, it is located inside toward the rear of the car, underneath about where the rear tire is. Follow the fuel line from the gas tank to the filter. If you have a carburetor then you will also have one there. Undo the fuel INLET line from the carb. In the housing the line came from there is a porous lava like filter. Replace.

Answer 2

Right behind the driver side door and before the rear tire. It's a small canister (cylinder) tapped into the fuel line. Be extremely careful changing these. You can easily strip the soft metal if using the incorrect tools. I ignored this on my 96 Monte Carlo and now have to use vise grips because the edges are stripped!
