A little info on the type of car and motor you are talking about would be helpful.

I had the same problem in my truck, which may not be the same problem as your car's, but I thought I'd share as it might help. In my truck'c case, it turned out to be water and garbage in the gas tank that someone dumped in there. It eventually dirtied the carburetor, which I was told needed to be cleaned by removing the air-horn and cleaning out the float bowl. I ended up rebuilding it.
