My 1985 chevrolet chevette is using alot of gas and the choke sticks,when I start up the car and go, the car stuggles unless I pump the gas when accelerating and this only lasts for about half a mile-what is going on with this car and how can I fix it?

See answer to prior post.

the fuel filter is inside the gas tank,its connected to the fuel pump

Carb problems. Sounds like the choke is not working.

I suggest to check and test the fuel pump.

Please check your choke. Is it functional? Check also your pilot jet, fuel and air filter. Regards

Lifters tick. Rod bearings knock(typically the harder you mash the gas, the louder the knock). poor quality gas can do it if you need a tune-up.

choke needs to be adjusted for current temp.

1982 I believe

when you pump the gas pedal can you see fuel spray into the carb .sounds like your pump squirter isnt squirting the gas in to start on a cold start similar to the choke coming on ... or your choke isnt coming on ..try rebuilding the carb or a replacement carb if you can.

I would try checking the Fuel filter and if none put one on their.
