00 accord v6 vtec sputter
 
When I start up the accord it starts up but it acts like it wants to die. Same when you put it into drive. After awhile it will smooth out. I changed all the tune up aparts. Except the fuel filter. When we give it gas it wants to die. This only happens once in awhile not all the time. Anyone had this issue? Thanks.

You don't have a normal fuel filter, just a fine mesh screen (sock?) inside the tank. You don't normally change that unless you measure fuel pressure & find it's not correct. (That's for USA. Other countries might actually have fuel filters.)

What kind of spark plugs did you put in? You've got 6 coils on the plugs, so no plug wires, right??

Title says "sputter" & text says it wants to die. So I guess it's not just a base-idle adjustment, because in that case it would be sorta smooth but RPM too low.

Check engine light coming on? It's SUPPOSED to come on for 2 seconds when you first turn on the key (bulb-check). If it comes back on later, go to someplace like AutoZone & have them read the error codes. Get the code number (like P1234), not just the guy's explanation.
