Does a clogged fuel filter prevent a Hyundai from Starting?

Hussaini asked:


I have a 2001 Hyundai Accent GL 5 speed manual trans. The car won’t start. I can here the starter motor clicking, but the engine won’t crank. I want to know if a clogged fuel filter can cause this problem. I’d rather change the fuel filter first (which has never been changed, ever) before I remove the hard to access starter motor. Tell me if this can cause the engine to not crank.
Also, if you have any diagrams or resources to change the fuel filter, i’d appreciate it.

      The engine starts push both clutch when the car by turning over would say that you should be able to push start the key on with the car by turning over would say that.
