Why does my car stall?

Question

What could it be? I have trouble starting it, but the mechanic said everything was o.k. but he said I need a gas filter anyway. That didn't help. Now things have gotten worse. My car stalls after I start it and I constantly have to restart every time I take off. Eventually after the first 4 stalls (within 5 minutes it's o.k) My car tends to buck when I have more freeway space. I think maybe something happened after one year of stop and go driving one mile back and forth from work. What is going on? Carborator trouble? Electrical Problems? ?..

Answer 1

you say it,s got a carburator?, maybe the choke is closing and shutting it down.

Answer 2

Have the fuel pressure checked.  You may have a fuel pump going bad.
