Stalling

Last Night I was driving and was working perfectly Normal. This morning. Tried to start it and no Joy. I do have spark plugs to do a tune-up. Someone suggested to me the fuel filter needs to be replaced. I read online the filter should not need servicing.

Symptom: Stalling

1.) IF I hold the gas it will start AND keep running. When it starts it doesn't slowly cut off it goes from running normally (with my foot on gas) to off.

Miscellaneous Info:
Last night I used A/c to keep warm and Normally don't use it at all.
The temp dropped to around 36 degrees last night.
The lights don't dim when it starts.
Half Tank of Gas
No Check engine light.
I have maximum anti-freeze in res.
Car is in park
Everything acts just as it should except for stalling
