Black s**t out of Fuel filter eh! but you haven't changed it yet? that black s**t is likely to be in your injectors also. Unplugging the injectors is one thing, but if the injector is working with a poor spray pattern then the car will run poorly. Cleaning the injectors cost about $20ea if you take them out, a little more if the workshop does it.

dude check all connections on the fuel pump, ther may be 1 that is loose and not allowing enough fuel pressure to the motor
