Hi, I am having an issue with not getting enough fuel. I think it may be the fuel filter. Car starts but keeps stalling and unable to drive very far. Also white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I just bought it to get back and forth to finding a job and unable to spend much money on repairs. Thank you for your time.

Hi chltme and TY for the donation

also white smoke coming out of the exhaust. This one here could be a blown headgasket cracked head or block/intake manifold leak- coolant is leaking into the cylinders diluting the mixture which is unburnable causing it to stall and the white smoke -could very be a clogged-up fuel filter or a weak fuel pump. Check the fuel pressure to rule both of them out-

Hi again, I don't know anything about cars. Just trying to make it run in the least expensive way I can. Is there any way I can find a diagram of the engine so I may be able to try and change the fuel filter. Older woman here just trying to find a job and get back and forth to it. No money to spare thanks again
