Question causes of no acceleration?

My daughter's been driving the 300D for about 6 months with no problems, but today... she was driving down the highway and felt "something funny". From her description, I think it was a shudder of some sort. Almost immediately she began losing acceleration, she tried pushing the go pedal harder, but the car continued to decelerate. She pulled over and called me. The car was still idling; it never stalled.

I told her to shut it off and I drove to her. When I got there, I popped the hood and looked for disconnected linkage, but everything looked normal. I had her start the car and I moved the linkage and the engine revved. I had her try the pedal and again the car revved. So, I followed her home at a slow pace and as soon as we got here, I changed both fuel filters.

It's possible that the filters were the only problem, but I wanted to ask if there's anything else I should check? What if it happens again with the new filters?

Thanks!!!
