Pretty much that. It'll feel like it's got a governor on the engine. Just replace the filter. I've only seen one car with a filter that was a pain, and it was a Chevy.

I'd change the fuel filter and run some good injector cleaner (Sea Foam(brand) is excellent). Do those two things and you probably wont have that problem again. The Sea Foam will break up any dirt or dust particals in your fuel system, including your injectors. It allows drys up any water in the system.

If the fuel filter is filthy change it. Sounds like there is dirt in your tank. Rust probably.. Your car will run better.You may have to do this frequently until the dirt is all gone

is it the fuel filter or the fuel pump filter? the fuel pump filter is a fine wire mesh basket-shaped screen that filters the fuel before it gets to the fuel pump they clog[screen] and lead to failure of the fuel pump

engine gets fuel starved causing injectors to start fouling thus looses horse power and eventually not starting and or running under a strain ,such as pulling its own weight

Have it cleaned. If it is truly dirty, not only are you wasting fuel, there's a good chance you might get stalled in the freeway.

If in doubt change the filter. What you described could be a dirty filter , among other things.
