Where is the fuel filter on this car? I can't find it.

The fuel filter is contained in the fuel sender assembly inside the fuel tank. The paper filter element traps particles in the fuel that may damage the fuel injection system. The filter housing is made to withstand maximum fuel system pressure, exposure to fuel additives, and changes in temperature. There is no service interval for fuel filter replacement.

You are correct in that there is no idle adjustment screw for that engine. Every thing is done electronically through the computer and related sensors.

What you are probably experiencing is due to a bad throttle position sensor. When this sensor fails, it can allow the computer to think the throttle is depressed which in turn makes the engine rev up very high. This is a quite common thing on those engines so I'd start there for sure.

I think a lot of improvement for this car has to be done by manufacturers..The Chevy Malibu has back seat troubles, claims GM. A redesign is reportedly in the works.
