Question

I have a 2001 Suburban with 170K miles. No prior problems starting but today it will not start. Possibly the fuel filter, but I cant find it. Can you tell me where it is and any other possibilities. It turns over fine and the air filter seems good.

Answer

Hi Dan... try spraying a little starting fluid when you turn it over to make sure it's not electrical.
If it doesn't run at all, you have an electrical problem

It has started and runs at idle, but when I push on the gas at all, it bogs down. It was running perfectly fine last night.

Answer

If this is a 1500 the fuel filter is under the driver side below seating area near fuel tank mounted on the frame rail in fuel line.
