1999 Honda Civic fuel filter?

I recently started having this problem that when my car gets to about 60mph it begins to jerk and is weak. When I got it looked at I was told I desperatlely needed an oil change. So I got one. After the oil change I noticed the jerking was less and it ran smoothly now it completely cuts out and turns off while I am driving and randomly does not start. When I spoke to another mechanic I was told that I needed to replace the fuel filter. Could there be another problem wirh my vehice? It jerks and cuts out when I gas it.
