Did u bleed up the fuel properly after changing the filter? Air in the fuel system can cause it to run like a piece of shit.

Also you you time the fuel pump up with the engine timing belt? If the pump belt is out of sequence it will run like a dog.......

Change the fuel filter housing you will proberbly find the diaphram has perished and is drawing in air

Hope that helps.....
