Randomly Dies

Alright Im driving along and every once and a while my car doesnt respond to gas and it almost dies. I have replaced the fuel filter once already. I dont know what it is. Its so out of the blue. Also sometimes when Im sitting still in park it will get a voilent idle and drop to 300-200 rpm. I shut it off start it back up and it runs fine for a while. what is doing this?

sort of sounds like FP problem but also maybe a module. usually module fails hot and not sort of fails and recovers.
