it shoudln't need changed every year, if you want to that's up to you though.

i assume you've tried the other tune-up hardware, such as plugs/wires/cap/ and rotor?

Many people tend to blame/question the fuel filter for a variety of problems, but it's usually not the cause. Just change it every couple years.

I would consider doing an ignition tune up like forcefedferio said.
