Take the car to a repair shop. It is a much less painful experience, and you won't get any fuel in the face. Take it from me, there is little to know room to get a line wrench on the fuel line, and the supposed quick release line on the other side is not quick and easy to get off. Take it to the repair shop and let them fight it. Maybe they have done enough of them that they know. I have changed the struts on this car and this was very easy, brakes easy. Fuel filter, take it to the repair shop, it won't cost you much money to do it.

SOURCE: 2003 vw jetta tdi fuel filter

It is on the passenger side right behind the washer fluid fill tube. You can follow the fuel lines (look like 1/4" black tubes, some are clear) from the injector pump to it. It is a caniser a bit bigger than a normal looking oil filter and sits between the washer bottle and the metal that forms the wheel well. It is held in by a screw type clamp about half way down the cylinder. Probably isn't the fuel filter unless there is air in the lines to the injector pump or they didn't bother to fill the fuel filter up with diesel after putting it in. There is not a fuel pump in the tank in these cars so everything is sucked up by the injector pump and it needs to be primed properly.

SOURCE: 2003 OLDS ALERO WONT START

if the engine turns over, but just doesn't start, you need to do some checking, check for spark from the coil, or coil packs, if that checks out ok, have the crank and cam shaft position sensors checked, timing belt, computor. I know it's a pain, but I have worked on cars for 40 years, something like this you have to use process of elimination, without testing, you could replace things you don't need. ( expensive) good luck).

SOURCE: Where is the fuel pressure regulator on a 2003 oldsmobile alero?

There are 2 fuel lines connecting to the fuel injector rail. The larger line is the pressure line and the smaller line is the return line. The smaller line attaches to the fuel pressure regulator. You will notice that the regulator also has a vacuum line attached to it. If you are planning on changing it your self, let me know. There is a specific way to change it for safety reasons.
Let me know.

2003 Oldsmobile Alero starts and then dies. I've put new crankshaft sensor in it and fuel filter. Battery is good and the fuel pump is working. The security light isn't on, what else could it be?

Question edited for clarity and typos.
Question moved to model category.

It is a known issue. Fuel pumps can work, but not provide enough pressure, so you need to test with a pressure gauge. There is also a Pressure Regulator. Have a read of this.

2003 oldsmolibe alero only starts with starting fluid then runs fine

well, the only cause is no fuel. it could be a blown fuse and or relay to fuel pump. or a restricted fuel filter. or a bad fuel pump. heres how to hear if pump is running. place hand on bottom of fuel tank, have a person turn key to on. you may have to do this a few times,if working, you will feel a vibration in tank. for a fuel pump only runs for a few seconds to pressurize the line to engine. but it runs all the time the car is running. check for a bad fuse or relay first ! good-day !

Its faulty fuel pump and clogged fuel filter.In your vehicle the fuel pressure is low,due to this faulty fuel pump and clogged fuel filter,so its not starting.But it starts when you spray liquid in intake.The liquid directly goes to engine so vehicle starts.Replace the fuel pump and filter.This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

2003 Oldsmobile Alero will not start. Already replaced fuel pump and screen, spark plugs and wires, fuel filter and relay. What else could it be?

I have a 2003 alero that would not start. It was actually a security problem it locks itself up, there is a quick fix for it though you turn the car to the on position wait 10 min. turn it off for 5 sec. and then turn it over and it should start. Sounds to easy right, thats what I thought someone found it out for me online before I had to throw a bunch of money into it, like others have. HOPEFULLY this will work for you too.
