Sputtering/stalling problem, need some advice...

1997 900S 2.3 non-turbo 85k miles
I filled the empty tank earlier this evening with Citgo Premium (93 Octane)and upon leaving the gas station, noticed a slight acceleration problem. I thought it was my imagination as it cruised fine at about 60mph until the next light (about 2 miles). I reached the light (it was green), downshifted into second and took a right turn. When I accelerated, my car hesitated severely, but eventually did make it back up to 55 and cruised smoothly. I breifly jabbed the gas and felt the hesitation (almost to the point of stalling) but upon lifting the gas pedal, it cruised fine. I shut the car off when I got home and tried to start it again. It would start, but immediately stall. After about 10-15 tries, I was able to get it started and feather the gas pedal to keep it running. It will eventually idle on it's own. I replaced the fuel filter tonight, but it's still giving me problems. Anything else I can check? Any ideas?
