IT's found under the car just behind the drivers side, (don't quote me could be passangers side) it's about the size of a can of bean, abotu 7-12 for a new one, if that's blocked the you'll find the engie won't get the fuel

Peak power is not far from 5000rpm on an x14xe.
So i doubt it will be pulling much past there anyway
