I need some help. I think my mechanic is screwing me over, but that is another story all together.

I know that pretty soon, my fuel filter is going to need to be replaced- at least that is what my mechanic is telling me. When I start my car, it is really shaky and at a really low idle. Today, the service engine light blinked for about five minutes and then just stayed on. Could this be because of the fuel filter?

I know that the engine light is controlled by the computer, so that only certian things trigger it. I was just wondering if the fuel filter was one of those things.
