fuel filter?

When my car is a little before the E line it studders and shakes and I can't go over 25mph. Could this be my fuel filter? I thought it was a diffrent problem in the past but it hasn't happend recently and yesterday I was driving for an hour and a half and none of this happend. Today I drove to my ex-job to get my last paycheck and it was fine. Then I was going to take the highway back to make it quicker and right after i merged it studdered for a few feet i got off at the next exit drove to my friends house and it was fine. then it almost diddn't start so i parked it in front of my house. I diddnt get gas because my ex-job diddnt give me my last check. I knew the car wasm't completey empty cause the line was still above E.

When was the last time you changed the FF? Chances are you haven't In a while b'c you are asking. A while changing It, have a look at the additional FF located at the bottom of your Fuel Pump assembly. Take It out and give It a good cleaning. From there, you'll be able to rule this out as being the culprit.
