Follow the steps care fully
Open the hood and relieve the fuel system pressure. On the fuel rail, right before the first fuel injector, locate the Schrader valve-similar to a tire air valve-on the inlet fuel line. Using a small screwdriver, depress the stem inside the valve while covering the valve with a shop rag to catch the squirt of fuel.
Raise the back of the vehicle using a floor jack and support it safely on jack stands.
Locate the fuel filter along the frame rail-passenger side-of the vehicle, near the fuel tank.
Unplug the quick-connect fuel inlet line on the back of the filter by pressing the lock tabs. Push the connector towards the filter and then pull to disconnect the fuel supply line.
Disconnect the outlet fuel line from the filter-the line going toward the engine-by using a backup wrench to hold the line nut while disconnecting the lock nut on the filter with a tube wrench.
Remove the filter from its mounting bracket and install the new filter in place, making sure the arrow on the side of the filter case points toward the engine.
Install the outlet fuel line. Tight the lock nut finger tight, then hold the fuel line nut with the backup wrench and tight the lock nut with the tube wrench. Make sure not to over tighten the nut to prevent fuel leaks.
Press the fuel supply line fitting against the small tube at the back of the filter until the lock tabs snap in place.
Lower the vehicle, start the engine and check for leaks.

How many miles on it? I know Impalas had a problem with the catalytic converters getting clogged. A clogged cat will give the same symptoms. No or little acceleration.

At the rear of the car near the gas tank, you'll find the fuel filter. Simply unscrew it and screw on the new filter. Relieve the fuel pressure before removing the old filter. To do this, remove the gas cap and at the engine you'll find the schrader valve on the fuel rail, press it. The schrader valve is found on the fuel rail.
