low RPM stumble

In the morning w/ the engine cold, the car just kind of seems to want to give up when I first get on the gas. Warm, it still does this, but just no as pronounced. When it finially catches, it pulls good and hard all the way up to about 4000-4500 rpm! Also, recently it has been getting hard to start when warm. My guess is a clogged fuel filter. Can anyone else enlighten me? Ignition system is almost all almost brandnew (a little awkward wording hehe) so it isn't that.
Thanks
