It's not my battery or alternator because none of the cars lights dim or fade. The car just stalls on me after running for a few minutes. Could it be the fuel filter?

Yes, or the fuel pump itself. Does it only do it when it's warm? Test fuel pressure.

Fuel filter was my first guess. Those are cheap and easy to get to and should be changed ever tune-up... and at LEAST every 20,000 miles because gas is getting dirtier and dirtier for some reason.

The above are good ideas. Also try dry gas. You may have water in your gas
