Would a dirty fuel filter make the car jump and stutter? HOw much do would a new run me? Im a little dumb.
 
Yes, a clogged fuel filter can cause symptoms such as that. New ones will cost you ~$50 if I remember correctly (give or take, depending on model and such). It's a PITA to change, so I hear.

However, I would look other places for the solution to your problem first. Start with the easy/cheap things, like spark plugs/wires. That's probably the most common cause of hesitation/sputtering.
