Where is the fuel filter located?

Should be near the oil filter.

check that you have reconnected all the vacuum hoses correctly. Check the operation of the PCV valve ( connected right way round). Check that all the wires have been reconnected tightly.

Timing Belt
AC/PS Belt
Alternator Belt
Should be a total of 3, AC and PS are on one and the Alt. should be a separate one.

the fuel filter is located in the engine compartment, mounted to the firewall. On some 1996-98 2.0L non-turbo engines, the fuel filter is mounted to the fuel tank.

Between the battery and the fuse box under the hood.

CHECK THE 20 AMP FUSE LINK UNDER THE HOOD IN A CENTRALIZED JUNCTION WITH THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE CLAMP.

Could be lots of things...bad grounds for battery, no spark to plugs bad plug wires, bad fuel filter or pump.

I own a 95 talon esi aut trans. It's on the driver's side, in the front, next to (about a foot inside) of the wheel. just unbolt the about 10 bolts and keep it level binging it down, youll be able to get to the filter then too. You'd want to check a manual about the tpe and quantity of ATF ( like a Haynes, available @ auto parts stores for about $15, 20.) I just used Amsoil full synthetic, it's compatable with all AT systems.

here is the locations for the turbo and non-turbo models

sounds like you may have an injector seal leak or an air leak at the filter check all fittings the rough idle is not abnormal with the air but a tune up will help also there is an air control solenoid if you left it unhooked broke a wire to it it will not start with the pedal being pushed and will idle lower than normal and very rough when air is on that is what i would at first..
