Price of Fuel pump ??

This has to be replaced soon on my car since I'm at 103k miles and I dont know if the owner before me replaced it at 60k or not...Cause my car has been acting a little slugish lately. Do you buy it from Nissan ?? How much do they usually run, in the price range ?? How much is installation usually ?? Can I do it ?? Easily accsesable with cold air on ?

Fuel pump rarely goes bad on the maxima.

Yes, a bad fuel filter will hurt performance. They should be changed every 15-30k miles.

The fuel filter can cost around $5-10 depending on the type of filter. It's very straightforward, but a pain in the butt to change cos it's in an awkward position. Also the hoses are often hard to get off even after a couple of hundred miles.(I know cos I just change the filter a couple of months ago and just fitted a fuel pressure gauge not long ago)
