1998 Hyundai Accent Problems(fuel or engine??)

Hello,
I am having some car issues:s

MAKE: Hyundai
MODEL: Accent
YEAR: 1998
ENGINE: 1.5
KILOMETERS: 142,000
A little more than a month ago I bought a 1998 Hyundai Accent,For the first couple weeks the car worked great...needs a few minor things but nothing major. The guy that I bought the car from mentioned that one of the tie rod ends were going and something about the filler neck
I drive every day up a dirt road and down a dirt road back home(about 25 mins each way)to work,i've been doing this for 5 weeks now(first 3 weeks were fine).
I am now finding that my car doesn't really want to move,it goes and then pulls back,almost sputters I guess you could say,doesn't pick up speed quick.
I have just replaced the filler neck tonight and I tried to change the fuel filter but its stuck on there,I was told by the guy who tried to change it that it looks as if it's never actually been changed before.
However,I was told that by the actions of what the car is doing that it may be engine problems, so what I need to know is it more likely to be the engine?or dirt in the gas tank with the fuel filter as an issue? or other?....any info would be great

Re: 1998 Hyundai Accent Problems(fuel or engine??)

truenovian; The first things that I'd recommend checking would be 1) Air filter. Driving on dirt/gravel roads will increase the need of replacing it more often than 'normal'. 2) Fuel filter. You may want to take it into a shop for this, just in case a line breaks during replacement. But, it's going to have to be done.
The description of your symptoms sounds, to me, as a fuel delivery problem.
