Troubleshooting Request! [SOLVED] Options

[rave2n]

Hello all. On my way home from work this evening, the cellie died.

I was just taking off after a light, and it started to feel like it was stalling in 1st when the gas about half down. It seems to have recovered and was going alright. Drove normal...til the next light. Did it agian, but worse.

After stalling completely while going 35, pulled over. Had trouble starting up, but would start. Idle was crazy, but tapping the gas you could get it up to 4k rpm easy. That didn't last long either. It started to drop asoon as I hit the gas after that. Now it'll have a really rough start up, then run like crap for about 10 seconds, then just dies.

I checked for any obvious leaks or anything of the sort..nothing. My limited knowledge of engines is a hinderence atm. I do know, you need air, fuel, spark. I have air, I have spark. So, my question is...do you guys think my fuel filter, pump, or injector is bad?

The spark plugs are less then a year old, the only recent thing i've done is got a oil change, and put in LED BA-15 bulbs in my rear lights =P

Any assistance would be greatly appreicated, as right now its sitting in a parking lot of a not so wonderful area. Hoping its something I can fix quickly and available at a local shop..

I'm getting it from a normal gas station..sometimes all diffrent ones.

The brown I can assume had to be rust. It appeared to be the original fuel filter on the car. Had toyota labels and all. The fuel that came out the rail when I was removing the filter was not looking contaminated, it looked like normal gas.

The plugs were slightly blackened with some white frost I would say. I assume I'm running lean, but I figured thats from the normal 7AFE leaky rings.

Yea, It drove fine all day today except the one stutter in the morning. Then I took it out to goto the gas station and it was acting crazy agian. If i hit the gas to hard when in neutral it would stutter and almost stall out unless I let go. I drove it there to see if anything would change, and when I returned I just sat and watched the idle for a good 15 mins, and its just random drops in RPM, up down up down, no specific rate. Be good for 10 seconds, then for another 2 seconds it would act like it can barely stay on, then come back to normal.

It almost seems electrical now...wires...distributor...hell I don't know.
