SOURCE: location of fuel filter on a '05 Hyundai Sonata 4cyl

Fuel filters are not checked but just replaced.

This must be fuel injected. Trace back from the fuel rail toward the gas tank. You are looking for a small can sized object in the fuel line. Most likely this is about the middle of the drivers door up next to the inside frame rail.

A couple more things to check.

You can loosen the fuel connection on the frame rail and crank the engine, there should be fuel everywhere.

Yes, it's not the filter
No it's a blockage and most likely the fuel pump

Fuel pump is on top of the tank about the middle.

If you have fuel, then check the fuel injection regulator, on the front of the fuel rail for correct operation or just replace, especially if you have some miles on the car.

I've never seen a fuel filter complete plug the fuel system unless car has been especially abused.

You should also be able to hear the fuel pump running by just turning the key on.

Regards,


Doug

SOURCE: XM Radio in 2008 Hyundai Sonata sounds bad

Same problem here. I repeatedly complained to XM but got no reply. I listen to XM in 2009 Sonata and it was just as bad.

XM is better than AM. Much worse than FM.
