Place one wheel chock in front of
each of the Sunfire's front tires. Lift the rear of the Sunfire with a floor
jack. Then support the weight of the vehicle with one jack stand placed under
each rear axle.
Locate the fuel filter. The fuel filter is a metal cylindrical piece located
underneath the Sunfire on the passenger's side of the fuel tank.
Note that one end of the fuel filter has a nut, while the other end has a
clip. Use a wrench to remove the portion of the fuel line which enters the side
of the fuel filter which has the nut.
Allow any fuel which is present in the line to drain into a bucket. Use a
tool for quick connect fittings to release the clip on the opposite side of the
fuel filter. The quick connect fitting tool is readily available at most auto
parts stores, and can sometimes be rented instead of purchased. Once the
fitting is released, pull the fuel line away from the filter.
Press the end of the new fuel filter that has the clip onto the fuel line until
the line clicks into place. Then use a wrench to tighten the end of the other
fuel line to the fuel filter.
Raise the back of the Sunfire with the floor jack. Remove the jack stands
from underneath the axles. Then lower the Sunfire with the floor jack and
remove the wheel chocks to complete the installation.
it sounds like the fuel pump needs to be replaced
the fuel pump is an electric motor the fuel in your tank keeps it cool but when you run the fuel dry the pump overheats and can seize
Buy a Hayne's Repair Manual for your car. It's a life-saver. The fuel pump is probably in the fuel tank (or on top of it). The filter is usually in-line somewhere on the left side frame rail. It's really small and can be hard to find sometimes. Good Luck.
