Fuel Filter/Opti?? Need Help!!

Well this just started the other day but my car is very very doggy especially in low rpms' at first i thought i had bad gas, so as soon as i ran out of gas, i filled up with premium and poored a bottle of heat into the tank. Now the car is having alot of problems starting. Anyone have any ideas? My first thought was a clogged fuel filter, but now since the car is having trouble starting i thought maybe an opti? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Change both, fuel filters are like 5 bucks but i'd say it's your opti, also check your spark plug's and wires.

Driver's side, near the fuel tank, underneath the car. About where the door ends. Shoebox might have a pic on his site, otherwise consult a Haynes or Chilton's

The fuel filter is aprox. 18" forward of the driver's side rear wheel attached to the subframe. If you stick your head under there look/feel for the fuel & brake lines.
