SOURCE: Is here a replaceable fuel filter in the fuel
There is a strainer on the fuel pump that doesn`t normally need changed until fuel pump repacement.There is a filter on the inside of frame rail about where the driver door is.

Fuel pumps are not a regular maintenance item that needs to be changed at a certain time. Replace it only when it fails. The designers built that fuel filter into the tank with the reasoning that it will last as long as the fuel pump itself.
It could be a fueling problem like a weak pump or clogged fuel filter. The right way to check for that is to do a fuel pressure test. Many parts stores will rent or loan fuel pressure testers. If pressure is as specified by Mitsubishi, then you know the pump and filter is good, and the problem is somewhere else, possibly a Mass Airflow Sensor needs to be tested. Have you checked the air filter for being clean?
If unsure about the fuel pressure test, have a friend do it that knows how. It is easy, just connect the tester, turn key to on, not start, and check pressure. It should be at specification, then start engine and check pressure again. If both readings are correct, the pump and pressure regulator and filter are all okay.
