fuel filter is in the tank, so u will not find it unless u pull the tank, accually it is part of ur fuel pressure reg, but u can only get that threw the dealer, or a whole sending unit aftermarket.....

I doubt it's the fuel filter, just keep messing with the throttle cables until the pedal feels just right.
