It needs a ring job. Which is something done with specialty tools so a mechanic is the best bet to have this fixed.

Why would a 1992 Mercury blow black smoke?

Black smoke is caused by an over rich mixture and normally occurs whenever the engine is working hard. Like going up a steep grade, being loaded heavy or during heavy acceleration. More black smoke can be observed when the vehicle is operated at higher altitudes because the air is thinner. A dirty air filter is also another cause of excessive black smoke. If black smoke is noticed while the engine is idling at low altitude or under normal driving conditions this condition should be diagnosed a.s.a.p. to prevent engine damage. bad rings or busted pisten you need anew motor


How does black smoke form?

Black smoke is soot, particles of carbon.It forms due to a shortage of oxygen preventing full combustion.Some occasional black smoke is normal in diesel engines, especially when under heavy load (e.g. rapid acceleration, climbing hills).However a gasoline engine should never produce black smoke! The most common cause of black smoke in a gasoline engine is oil leaking into the cylinders and burning, the most common ways oil enters the cylinders are a blown head gasket or damaged piston rings; both of which are very serious problems which will likely be expensive to repair!!!
