Im not sure exactly what it is. I have an 88 Ea Auto. But, it started out as a rich fuel mixture about 2 weeks ago and I started it again today after about a week of sitting, I revved it and a whole lot of black smoke was bellowing out of the exhaust. I left it like that and then tonight, as I was about to go out, I started it up and it was running extremely rough(like a lawnmower). I put the foot down and it was doing the same but then improved a little but as soon as it returned to idle it was back to what it was doing previously.
Im thinking it might be something serious and might have to take it to the mechanic but if anyone can help that would be GREAT! |
