It's nothing to do with the fuel filter. Get the code read at
PartSource, and meantime, see that the coolant is full in the rad and
full to the MAX mark of the reservoir. Air in the system of a '97 will
cause the idle to go up and down. You should book yourself a valve
adjustment too, and request they set it to the loose side of the specs.
The owner's manual is incorrect about the interval.
