I wrote this a while back, maybe it should be a how-to:

Quote:
Get the back of the car up on ramps.
Open the hood and pull fuse #14 (should be a 15A fuse)

Try to start the car. It should run for less than 5 seconds then die out. If it keeps running, you got the wrong fuse. This will release the fuel pressure.

Look for the filter as Slim Shady described. You'll probably want a catch pan like one you would use for changing oil.

First loosen the worm gear clamp that is holding the filter in place.

Next, carefully remove the plastic clips that hold the fuel lines to each end of the filter.

Before removing the filter, note the direction of flow. There should be an arrow on the filter.

Carefully pull the fuel lines off the old filter.

Pull the old filter out of the clamp.

Insert the new filter taking care to orient the filter flow in the same fashion as the filter you removed.

Reconnect the lines using either new clips or the old ones if your filter did not come with replacement clips (my Purolator filter did not have new clips)

Tighten the worm clamp.

Clean up!

Replace fuse.

Turn on key and wait a moment, this will build fuel pressure.

Crank car, it may take a few moments until fuel pressure has been restored.
