Car starts and runs for about 10-15 seconds and then stops, seems to be starving for gas. Is this a fuel filter, if so where are filters located??

It sounds as if your fuel pump is bad. depending on how many miles you have on the car, the fuel filter may be clogged. this is usually located along the back of frame rail, usually on the right hand side. replacing this is the cheapest and quickest fix. most people tend to forget the fuel filter, and i've seen cars with over hundred thousand miles and still have the original filter.
