If you mean the air filter, if you have access to an air hose, blow it out,and if it isn't a k&n brand, throw it away and get a new one.
If you mean the fuel filter, can't clean them, replace it.

Car chokes and sputters until up to speed. Replaced fuel filter a year ago?

if your car is still using a carburetor, clean the carburetor first. If it is already Fuel injected, clean your MAF sensor.

also, it is ideal to replace your fuel filter everytime you do a change oil (normally this is done every 6 months)

Choke seems to be on... runs very rough....

There are several ways to do it
a. Check carburetor if not clean pump it on the intake if that not solve try to clean it. with Lacquer thinner to dissolve the dirt.
b. Check spark plug if some are not working. In checking try to pull one by one the high tension wire and listen if the sound vary if the sound remain when pulling one wire mean you have problem with your spark plug. So replace all spark plug with the same spec.
c. or lost compression on cylinder.
d Check if you fuel filter if some dirt and replace it.
e. Clean your air filter with compressor or replace it
f. Check the clearance to the Contact Point it must have 1 mm or .8 mm spacing when not at firing mode ( just like the thin of the hacksaw blade the space of the gap of the contact point.)

Where is the fuel filter on a 1985 s15 2.8

Not sure about this particular one but if you don't see it in the fuel line anywhere it may very well be in the carburetor. Simple to change just remove the inlet fuel line from carburetor and then unsrew the filter housing and remove old filter. Clean out housing and install the new filter and inspect the seal for the filter housing for damage. To be safe, perform this with the engine cold.

Does the carburetor have a filter inside it? or some tiny holles that i can clean?The engine "dies"sometimes while driving in idle

Carburetor can be rebuilt with a kit. No filter inside, but lots of things to clean and rubber parts that wear out.

Car has fuel pressure and spark but still won't start-why?

Check your carburetor and the air filter element. Without the air filter out, you can see gas coming out of the carburetor jets as you let somebody start your engine. Gas must get out of it, if your engine has to start. No gas--- get your carburetor jets cleaned. Then, replace your carburetor. Air filter must be free from sludge, otherwise get a replacement..Get this done, and send in your e-mail.

I have 1986 winnebago 454 chev it isn't getting any gas to carb,

The mechanic should check the fuel lines or gas hose from the tank going to the carburetor and from carburetor going to the engine. and also check on the first or primary filter ,the secondary filter, the spray nozzle assembly and the carburetor . if there is a dirt it should be cleaned if there is a spare parts that is worn out it should be replace and if there is a corroded parts then clean it also .After it then also check if there is a loose connection of the hose then reconnect the connection of the fuel lines or gas hose should be tighten that it will not spill gas.But still don't forget to check the screws or the bleeder screws of the carburetor check if there is a dirt and if there is a worn out screw's or bleeder screws .if there is then clean it with a clean gas if there is a worn out replace it. the throttle should also be check if it is been stock there fore you have to repair it if worn out already then replace it.If the carburetor is dirty gas can't pass to the engine normally or some times no gas is going to the engine.That is why you should clean it or replace the worn out parts . But then you have also to check the gas that you are using to your car. If the gas is diluted or dirty then it can be the cause of the problem. Change the gas and buy or get a clean gas that is not diluted or dirty because sometimes dirty gas or fuel can give malfunctioning to the carburetor assembly.

FORD 150 2000

Fords are common for this. You can try to replace the choke, spark plugs, and air filter. Clean the carburetor (You can pour transmission fluid in the carburetor to clean it. This will loosen you valves and clean the carburetor. This will cause it to smoke, but it will not last long.) and put fuel cleaner in the gas. Change the fuel filter. In other words do a good tune up. Try NGK spark plugs. Carbureto might also need adjusting.
