Hi,
the filter has nothing in it that could click. The fuel pump is another story. It is in the fuel tank. Start by checking fuel pump pressure.

Here is a how to video:

If you don't have a gauge, many parts stores will rent them or you can purchase one at the test equipment store site on this page.

Let me know what you find.

With a fuel pressure gauge.

You sure didn't provide many details to work with. You didn't even bother to list the engine size so I don't know if your engine has a fuel pressure test port. If it doesn't, you have to insert a "tee" fitting in the rubber fuel hose.

Many auto parts stores rent or borrow tools. Those that do will have the pressure gauge.

If it has a port it will be on the fuel rail
