Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Cycling the key on and off, no crank, can help the fuel system prime.

If it runs fine, I doubt the filter is the issue? If you can't remember the last time the fuel filter was replaced, replace it. Make sure there is no pressure on the fuel system before taking anything loose. How long since over-all tune-up? Any applicable mil codes? I'd still have to use a gage and check fuel pressure, key on engine off. Some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a gage.
