Default she's cutting out and dieing what's up?

i was driving to the store, and going slow through a light then i got on it a little to pull away some teenagers blasting their stereo, and then i had to slow down because my turn was coming up. once the car infront of me moved, i noticed my car wasn't running. i started it, and it died as soon as i let the clutch out two more times. the next time i gave it some gas and eased off the clutch and it worked enough to get me into the parking lot. after letting it sit for a while, the problem was still there. it fires right up, then hesitates badly when you give it the gas. at first i had a hard time keeping it running, but i disconnected the battery, which didn't do much, and revved it several times. the revving seems to have helped it, and i can drive the car if i ease on the gas very slowly. i made it home, but its not running well enough to drive any more.


i don't have an engine light on, and i have 200miles through my last fill up, so i don't think its bad gas.
i checked the vacume line going to the intake and it seems good. i'm thinking i may have a fuel issue the way the car acts with no service lights coming on. my plans are to get a fuel filter tomorrow and try that first. any suggestions are very welcome.

worst part is i passed 36k miles over the weekend. i do have extended warrenty, but i'm unsure how much it covers and i forgot where i put my paper work. i'm hoping a simple fix with no warrenty headaches.
