Where is the fuel filter on a 2001 Suzuki Esteem, automatic, with a 1.8 L motor?
What is your question?
Car starts and idles okay, but as soon as I press the accelerator, it 'bogs' down with no power. The fuel sending unit seems to be functioning fine. And when a code reader was used on the car it said fault 440 emission. I was told this same fault could be a clogged fuel filter as well. In addition I hear a loud "hissing" noise when I put the vehicle in gear, but the hiss is not present while vehicle is in park or neutral (hole in vacuum line to transmission perhaps?). The car has 360k km on it but has only started acting up in the last month or so. Suggestions?
What makes this problem better or worse?
accelerate and no fuel, but the sending unit is still humming as per usual, so I think it may be the filter, but I don't know exactly where it is.

There is only one link in the posted answer ... I checked it out and it is working just fine... It will take you to detailed information about the PO440 code.
For the fuel filter - it is in the fuel pump module which is inside the fuel tank .. Fuel filter is considered a non serviceable part.
Recommend contacting local auto repair facility for hands-on *testing* to find the actual problem(s)...
Have a nice day!
