I have a '98 eclipse and it began to idle with a pulsing and then the rpms jumped btwn 1000 and 0 and then died. Im thinking of replacing the fuel filter. Does this sound right? Does anyone know exactly where its located btwn the fuel tank and engine?

Which model? This will help us to better diagnose the problem. Also, the fuel filters are located on the firewall towards the bottom in the middle/towards the passenger side some.

Doesn't sound like a fuel filter. Have you checked for any loose/disconnected vacuum hoses? Or any unplugged sensor wires?

I havent checked the vac yet, but so far what i have found is this- one of my spark plugs is cracked (again, for the third time in six months). I replaced all the plugs and wires, and cleaned the throttle body. It seems to be running, but I'm afraid there is a bigger issue here.
