Check TPS to see if its adjusted correctly.

I'm still a rookie but if that doesn't work check the fuel filter and pump. Mine was clogged and had the same symptoms. Also I had the injectors cleaned and flow tested. Sorry just saw you changed the fuel filter but I was refering to the sock in the tank.

Ya, he mentioned he replaced the fule filter already so thats ruled out.

Might want to look at your AFM too.
