Yep, it sure sounds like your fuel filter.

Sorry to say you have a blown head gasket. Lee

its under the back seats

it's possible you have a clogged fuel filer. change it out and try the thumb plugging again.

take off the gas cap to depressurize the system. The fuel filter if I remember right should be on a bracket on the firewall.

faulty wiring for the lights, and blinkers....

broken gears for the fuel and temp gauge...

just get rid of the damn car, get a Civic of the same year.

I was given a 323 once, unsiezed the rear brakes (the idiot left the thing parked with the e-brake on all winter), then sold it for beer money.

It is in the engine compartment on the driver side mounted on the wall it is black with the fuel line running in from the tank side and out to the fuel injector rack. the rubber hose is a little bit hard to get off. I had to use a flat head screw driver to lift the rubber from the filters metal housing some and than i twisted the rubber while holding the filter and it let go. I had to work it off so when i put on the new filter i put just a little bit of oil on it...
