I got a piggy with a single, and i replaced my fuel filter last night and ran into no problems. everything ran pretty smooth. I started it after i was done and the car ran fine.

When i went to start the car up this morning, it automatically jumped up to like 3k and then was stumbling from there, all the way down to practically dying, then back up towards 2k+. And it feels like there is a huge power lose, car doesn't pull for sh*t, and no acceleration at all.

Anyone know what the problem could be.

did you make sure that the arrow on the fuel filter is pointing in the direction of fuel flow? if not then that could cause problems. also, make sure you have no leaks.
