Could the problem be my fuel pump?

Sometimes my car does something that almost feels like my transmission slipping. However i dont believe that the problem is mtransmission. it does it when the car is not trying to shift at all. i was staying at a steady pace and the car does the chugging thing. and when i was ideling at train tracks my car died. in the morning it is better then in the afternoon.

May be a blocked fuel filter, start with a full tune first and see how it reacts.
