Fuel Pressure Question

I just put a fuel pressure guage on yesterday and the reading was at around 7 psi at idle and under hard throttle it went down to 1 psi is this a dirty fuel filter or something else? I got the truck in Nov and have not changed the fuel filter so? Thanks

Change the fuel filter.

If it starts up after, check pressure.

If it doesnt start up after, the lift pump is bad.
