How do I change the fuel filter on a 1997 Geo Metro hatchback?

I have a 97 geo metro that doesnt want to start. I went to work one day, came home for lunch. When I got in the car after lunch, it started but then it die and I havent been able to start it since. So guys helped me park it and I havent been able to start it back up since. Can it be the fuel pump? Fuel filter? Or replacing the spark plugs and wires?
