Van wont start without starter fluid

[clarkstoyvan]

Hello, my 88 van wont start without a squirt of starting fluid, then it runs great.
I hope its the fuel filter.

Does anyone know where it is located?

The fuel filter is located underneath the passenger's seat access panel. Big ole black thing here...
