my mustang has been stalling but i think is the fuel filter and the cap and rotor but i need to know where the fuel filter is so i can change it.

Slide under the back end between the gas tank and rear end assembly, you should find it.

yeah, its in the back by the tank. You may actually have to drop the tank to replace it.

There are two fuel filters: one on the bottom of the fuel pump (internal) and one inline of the fuel feed line (external). You should not have to drop the tank to replace the external fuel filter.

Before you started the car you should have turned the key on and off a few times to make sure a good supply of fuel is in the rails. But if it is getting too much fuel then you will need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. You need to attach a fuel pressure gauge to the schrader valve on the fuel rail and check your pressure.

I turned the key on and off a couple of times then i turned it on i went to go get cleaned off then i was going to test drive it then i pressed the gas and the car turned off. i pushed it back in my house i was trying to turn it on again but then realized that when you put the key on you can hear the fuel pump but i dint hear anything. i was probly thinking it is my battery but if my system turns on well i dint think it was the battery. Im think of buying a new fuel pump if thats what it is.

I just went through a lot of **** with my fuel system. Read this thread so you don't make the same mistake I did. Good Luck!http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...ight=fuel+pump

I went through a fuel problem last year, turned out to be a rotted rubber hose at the fuel pump, so when ya change out the fuel pump---make sure you get a new piece of that hose ( its a little bitty piece that connects pump to line
