When I start my car, if I press the gas all the way, it stalls. When I am driving, it takes some time for it to get moving to a normal speed. I can't press too hard on the gas when driving because the engine seems to sputter. But eventually I will get going to a regular speed and when I do hit 50, 60 or 70 mph on the highway, the car seems to buck a little bit. I just changed the spark plugs, spark plug wires, rotor and distributor cap when I did my last oil and filter change. I had a local garage change the fuel filter. They did say the line going to the fuel filter needed changed due to corossion. Would that cause my problem? Thank you in advance for your help.

Check the fuel pressure, airflow sensor and throttle position sensor.
