The last few days I have been having major issues with hesitating and lack of power until the car gets well up into the RPM range. The hesitation only starts after the car has warmed up, which leads me to think it is the igniton module, but I also think fuel filter since I didn't change it this year.

The car goes away for winter soon, but I don't feel like getting stranded somewhere anytime soon.

Crawl under there and slap a fuel filter on it. It is cheap and easy, plus it is due anyway. If it doesn't fix the problem you have one less thing to worry about.

In the process of doing that now

Trying to see if I have some gas line left over from last year incase it is brittle. Got the filter and clamps just need to find some hose.
