Its just cold, NOT freezing yet, where I live. It's a carburetor, 4 cylinders, normal gasoline (not diesel), it turns over fine when I start it, so I don't think its the battery, and I have to pump the pedal very fast to get it working, I CANT step on the gas, or it wont work at all. I've had vacuum leaks in the car before but I think they're fixed. When its warm out the car starts fine. What should I do ? Oh yeah, the engine has hundreds of thousands of miles on it, but it still sounds good when it runs.

Have you ever rebuilt the carburetor??

I used to have a 1978 Ford Farmont that used to do something like that, except it wouldn't start if it was below 32 degrees. I think it was possessed.
You might try looking at the automatic choke, since it is a carberated engine. Check the choke to see if it's gotten out of adjustment. It might even have worn out and needs to be replaced.
