Can a bad fuel filter cause a car not to start?

Question:
Ok, my car will not start unless I keep giving it gas, and even then it wont. It's not the battery or anything else, all that stuff's been checked. I am wondering if it can just be caused by a clogged fuel filter, or if I would most likely have to replace the pump. It's a 98 Millenia if that matters.

Change the filter if you want, but that ain't it. It's a '98 with OBDII, have the fault codes read.
