Filter question

when i'm driving i seem to lose rpm's and it seems like the engine is lugging due to lack of gas. it happens often when i'm at highway speeds and occasionally just after taking off from a light. Here's the thing though, when i press the accelerator (often i have to go to the floor) it kicks back in and im fine for a while. i did the plugs & wires already, but does this sound like the fuel filter? or would it not pick back up when i gun it if it was the fuel filter?

I'd say yes to the fuel filter if it only did this on the highway. The stoplight thing tells me no.

What are you driving? Year/engine etc

'88, 2.3L, auto 4cyl. i've heard that the tranny bands may be slipping, but i figure i'll eliminate the less expensive options first.
