Question car not running right...what could it be?

when i bought my car 6 months ago (71,500 miles at the time) i had the car looked at and they said the water pump was leaking so it was fixed before i bought it...i thought maybe it had been caught soon enough as to affect the opti. they also said the plugs were pretty worn and it should probably get a tune up (i had planned to do that in may)

for the past week or so my car has been acting up a little...i'll press the gas a little and take my foot off (at pretty much any speed) and it wont keep rolling very well. i dont really have time for a while to deal with fixing the opti so im wondering could it be a clogged fuel filter or something fixed by a basic tune up or does that sound more like the opti? thanks

You won't know for sure about the opti until you do the basic tune up. Start with the basics first then go from there.
