a question?? could it be possible that the belt is slippin a lil causing it to jerk or lug like it did, because i went out there and was just looking around under the hood a lil bit and noticed the belt has alot of cracks in it and looks wore out pretty bad, but my question if it is slippin could it slip without me hearing a chirp??? because i didnt hear anything?

i wouldn't be too shocked if it just needed new spark plugs because of carbon build up on them, for the $20 or so for the new spark plugs you should maybe just replace them anyways. you should also run some injector cleaner though the car the next time you fill up with gas and always use the higher octane if it isn't a DD. the car will love you for it and run better when you use higher octanes

if its cracked I would replace it anyways but no it normally wouldn't cause the motor to jerk, just die. you would notice your lights getting dim or your car running hot if the belt was slipping. it can slip without the noise if they put something like soap on it so you would buy it without having to fix it!

the fuel filter is a good possibility to. The car may be being starved for fuel. and the fact that it has now cleared up says it has temporarily righted its self. which to me says it prolly isnt the plugs. I would def. check/replace the fuel filter. injector cleaner is a good thing but it doesnt get everything especially in the filter.
