Default starting problem,location of fuel filter

Whenever I go to start my car, it normally takes a good 6 seconds on the starter to get her to go, i was told that this mean I need a new fuel filter, so I bought one, but I have no idea where the original is, I've looked on top of the engine and beneath it, and my chilton book I bought doesnt even mention or show it in any picture or procedure, could anyone tell me where to find it?

The fuel filter is located on the drivers side of the car in front of the rear axle.After instaling the new filter turn the ignition key about 3 times to prime the fuel system.If you are still having a problem you might have some fuel pump issues.
