i had tha same problem coughed and choked n **** when accelerating and chewin through a **** load of fuel i thought it was the fuel filter aswell and i replaced it and done fuk all. It turns out it was just tha spark plug leads they were fuct a new set will probally cost ya 35 - 40 bucks for a flash set, If ur cars still runnin rough like mine was it probally be the fuel injection system this cost me $330 to get fixed by a mechanic. but she all good now tho goes harder than b4. but yea always do cheap repairs 1st of course.

try running it on fuel. thatll save you lots of problems. ive heard that fule can wreck engines.

it might also be something in the wobble-valve, they play up when you run it low on petrol.

I don't know if fuel filters flow to well if they are in back to front :)? I'm guessing the directional arrow is stamped on them for a reason. Check that

You could have burnt the pump out a abit, and it isn't working properly.
Or it could have picked up gunk in the fuel line and have the line blocked.
