On a 93 accord do you have to fill up the new fuel filter with gas before installing?

No.

My honda/over 300k mileage,will run for a few minutes and then losses gas pressure and sputters and quits... I put a new fuel filter on it (dry) and it ran great for a minute and did it again... hard to start again but when it finally does it runs fine then more of the same.. drianed 3 or 4 gal of gas from tank and its clear and good(no water).. Im sure its not the fuel pump and just wonder if its common for the fuel pressure regulator to fail and how does the regulator work with the vacuum.. is there a diaphram in it or what?. Dont really know how to check it or what to try next... Thanks...

How do you know it loses gas pressure? I would check Ignition Switch.

Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil inside the distributor. Apply silicone heat transfer grease to the back of the new ICM. I have yet to see a bad Honda fuel pump or pressure regulator.

Use a precision Phillips head #2 bit, such as from the omnipresent bit driver sets on the market. I often pull the distributor and set it down on my work bench. Just be sure to place an index mark on the distributor and mounting bracket, prior to removal. This will allow the timing to be very close when the distributor is reinstalled.

Corroded and brittle... bad rotor and cap along with oil leak which keeps the belts drenched with oil... I think its time too put this car under the tree for a hobby later or sell it for parts... Time to buy me a pickup.. thanks again for your very accurate help, just glad now I didn't replace the fuel pump and or the regulator... I would recommend you to anyone...
