I need to know if there is an inline fuel filter on the 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo or if the filter is in the fuel pump. 5.7 v8 engine.

are you on wrong forum, Grand cherokee is it?
the XJ jeep is not a ZJ jeep. which is it, the big GRAND ZJ?
what a great question, actually cars with EFI all have 3 filters...
sorry to shock you.

1: the fuel sock , below the pump , to catch loose golf balls. LOL.
dead bugs, etc.
2: the pump output line has a filter., all do, can be in tank (newer cars) or just outside (did you look first or post first) bingo!
3: then each injector has 10 micron size screens. the above keeps these clean, saving $120 for injector service and labor R&R.

and what engine, not posted engine size on engine questions
the fuel system matches ENGINE type, on all cars made.
4.0L engine ????

ive owned both a grand laredo and not grand laredo 1988 to 2010

if not grand see this XJ car.
called just a Cherokee here. 1993

the grand is called a ZJ
also on same page and both are LAREDO's

the book has a fuel chapter.
read that. for free.

keyon .off 5 times then start.
or crank for 5 seconds.
this will prime it
some cars dont prime with key on trick. only cranked.

When you step on the gas pedal the engine commands are to give more fuel,so obvoiusly you have a fuel pressure problem,from a neede fuel filter or even a new pump or both

You didn't mention which engine you have but on an inline six, a failed fuel pressure regulator caused this symptom on ours.
It is at the front end of the fuel rail and cost ~$40 to procure.

I would start with replacing the airfilter(if dirty) and fuel filter.especially the the fuel they clog up and give you sufficient pressure but no flow

2.8L Engine firing order: 1-2-3-4-5-6 Distributor rotation: Clockwise

5.2L and 5.9L Engine firing order: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 Distributor rotation: Clockwise

If you have the V8 engine, the filter is actually part of the fuel pump. WHICH IS IN THE TANK
