NO, its not the filter, although it should be changed every year. It needs top be checked by a qualified repair shop. There are too many possibilities of what it COULD be. TPS and IAC are 2 that should be checked first. but you need special tools to check them.

1992 olds cutlass supreme wont accelerate when pushing the gas pedal

Check oil first, Low oil sensor will shut down if more than a quart low. Change fuel filter, could be fuel starvation, change the air filter. stopped up air filter will put MAF sensor out of range. PERFORM OBDII SCAN SOON.

I have a 1995 pathfinder that keeps stalling on me when I start slowing down

Mine did the same thing. We cleaned the throttle body and poured Sea Foam, a gas treatment, in the gas tank... also check the air filter while you are at it. worked for me.

I own a 2002 Dodge Dakota 4x4 truck. As I am stepping on the gas pedal, the truck starts to slow down and makes a rough sound as though something is not receiving gas. The best way to describe the sound...

I would try 3 things
1. when was the fuel filter replaced last? I would replace it if you don't know when and you may have ran into some bad gas. Replace it.
2. Same with the air filter.
3. Add fuel injector cleaner.
Hope this helps.

Cannot get 1987 chevy van 20 to keep running... stalls out

Best do a fuel pressure test. Should have chg. fuel filter from the get go. The only other filter is on the end of the fuel pump in tank. Bad gas and dirty gas will plug up fuel filter, hense burn pump up.

Stalling in idle

check for a vacuum leak and make sure ur o2 sensor is plugged in. the fuel filter is easy to check its on the passenger side in front end under the alternator. mine has 3 hoses contected to it. disconnect hoses and pull out the filter. blow air into the filter if its clogged u wont be able to blow air through or whatever has it clogged will come out. its like $3.99 for a new one. it could also be the fuel regulator sensor if it feels like it wants to stall out when you push on the gas to start going.
