where is that located?
ummmm. the compressor is the bft right in the middle of the motor, up top. the pulley driving it is the highest one.the compressoris about 2 feet long, about 10 inches in diameter, and weighs like 30 lbs.

what should i do?
well, seeing as how you dont know where it is located, i would say you should step away from the engine, and take the car to someone who knows what to do. however, these things aint cheap. expect to pay at least 1600 for a reman one. labor to change it would be about 3 hours. gaskets, seals, belts, etc. oh say, another 300.

could it be fuel filter?
yah, it could be. but that would be like number 10 or so on the list, with the compressor being #1.

btw, driving the car with a fubar compressor means it is running really rich. keep driving it, and you will quickly kill the pre cats. they are like 700 and 400, then gaskets, labor, yada, yada, another 1500-2000 or so. and that's if you get someone who actually KNOWS what they are doing. so, now how cheap was the car?

Follow under dash from about straight up from accelerator.It's like below the steering column and to the right a little.It's hard to see if your dash is black like mine.Use a light.

k, i have started some major work on the car. lol, i removed the tubes or pipes or watever they are called, they go to the intercooler and around the engine and stuff.*(sorry for not knowing the name) . i have noticed like there is alot of oil in them and i don't think that is normal, and when i went to take it out the garage to park my other car, i floored the car and it was berly moving and the car sounded like it was hauling a trailer and it was about to shut off.
