Is the Check Engine Light indicating?

It could be the fuel filter but chances are low as the filter has to be clogged very badly to cause such symptoms.

It could be low fuel pressure, results of a weak fuel pump, internal leaking intank or ignition faults.

Here is a link on how to retrieve for trouble codes.

A paper clip would act nicely to bridge the terminals.

When the CEL is indicating, that is the first thing you need to check.
