Car started sputtering then stalled, will start but not for long. Car was smoking, I took air filter out and smoke was coming out of their. Just had spark plugs and wires replaced 5 months ago. Could the fuel filter cause this or the fuel pump problem?

Was smoke blue, white, dark grey/blackish? White smoke indicates a coolant leak, grey smoke indicates fuel being burnt through exhaust, and blue smoke is an oil leak.
