Fuel filter is under the car near one of the rear wheels. It's a canister type you swap completely.

Does indeed sound a lot like a fuel starvation problem, although you may want to check the different connectors in the engine bay and perhaps disconnect them, spray some contact cleaner and re-connect.

You can also read out any error codes in the ECU by using the small black box attached to the suspension mount in the engine bay. Just pop the lid, attach the wire pigtail to hole '2', switch on the ignition, and press the small button for about 1 second.

A small LED on the box will flash an error code. The error codes are 3 digits, so 2-2-1 would be flash-flash-pause-flash-flash-pause-flash.

If it returns 1-1-1 then the ECU has detected no errors.

Bye, Arno.
