Default sputtering

I have a 1997 mustang gt 5-speed that when im going down the road it will start sputtering if you get on it to hard. I'm not sure but I think its starving for fuel and may need another fuel filter. please tell me what you think so maybe I can try to fix it. thanks.theorgnlimprtkillr

Change the fuel filter first and get the injectors cleaned or try running a can of BG 44K fuel system cleaner in the gas tank after you change the filter.

Also, check to make sure your plug wires are in tight.
