engine runs funny

i changed my fuel filter last sunday, now it seems when i drive the truck when its cold, (i do let the engine warm up for about 5 min or so) up intill the engine warms up half way, there seems to be a miss in the engine. this only happens when i am driving about 35-38 mph and the rpms are about 1500, i am on flat ground and have the gas pedal on just enough to maintain that speed.the pedal is hardly being pressed acutall, but it is pressed a little, when i step on the gas everything run fine, lots of power. i hear the ebpv but i dont think this has anything to do with the miss, but i could be wrong. this has never happened to me before, first time, bought the truck three and a half months ago, just started after i changed the filter, anyone have any ideas, or have this happen to them??

Are you sure you used the o ring seal (properly) and the other seals in the filter? Had a friend put the seal in upside down and got the same result. jUst a thought

which seal did he have upside down, the seal for the cap, or the one that fits on the filter itself? im pretty sure the one for the cap is right, but the one that fits right on the filter i thought could only go one way since it is a round seal.
