Where is the fuel filter? My o2 sensors are showing that I'm running lean and I think changing the fuel filter might help.
I searched but couldn't find any info on this. Where is it located? How hard will it be to get to it?
thanks

What he said and no its not hard to get at. You need the gm fuel line pliers or be practiced at the art of releasing those clamps. Push the two tabs in at the same time and pull. The correct pliers make it real easy but I'm sure some people must have some tricks.

Beats me??? Perhaps bad O2 sensors, LT headers, or other mods. How do you know that you are running lean; does your exhaust smell bad? Did you run a diagnostic, did you throw some codes, are you able to drive without any gas in the tank (my wife does this) or what?
Caution: lean engines tend to burn pistons, valves and other important parts... that help your engine go round and round..

You can use any type of pliers to remove the fuel filter. I use basic pliers and mine comes right off. I do not think that will help your running lean problem though.

Got a SES the other day, I drive a bit and it goes away, then might come back, and go away again.
All my mods are in my sig.
I know that I'm running lean because that's what the scan tool told me. Went to adv auto and they printed it out for me saying that both sensors reading lean.
I know the problem that can be causes by lean conditions, but as I said, I don't think it can be something serious because it goes away.

It's not that hard to do with your bare hands. I just did mine today.

A bucket to catch the fuel was the only thing i needed other than my hands.
