I think its in front of the brake booster. On the drivers side of the air cleaner box.

not all cars have the engine bay filter it's really useless! i don't have it!
anyway about the rearfilter it's behind the rear wheel driver's side ! take the wheel off and you 'll find it ! it's in a meta bracket which you will have to remove 2 X10 mm bolts , and the take the filter out of the bracket use pilars to take off the hosses place the new filter exactly the same way!

try holding the fuel lines up ward while changin ! anyway some fuel will definetely spill on the floor !

good luck 1

I think all North American 3rd gens have the secondary fuel filter in the engine bay. It's attached to the red braided fuel line coming out of the driver's side firewall.
