Default Starting Problems

i need some help, i posted a thread earlier about my car having starting problems and a lot of you said it could be a fuel filter problem, well i got a new one and installed it.. again on my way to classes i had the defrost on and turned it off when i got to school, the problem is when i got back to my car, it would turn over but not idle on its own, i had to assist with keeping the RMP around 1500 or else it would stall out, i did this for about 10 mins until i heard a pop of air in my engine in which tells me that it'll idle on its own ( familiar sound with previous problems) any one have any ideas?

Thanks!
