your engine is "missing" suspect problem in ignition or vacuum systems. check plugs,wires,timing, possible vacuum leak look for broken or cracked hoses. also check for clogged fuel filter, cracked distributor cap, and faulty egr valve
Black smoke is caused by excessive fuel in the engine
I had the same problem on my 98 Mazda 626 and the O2 sensor was faulty.....
Did they replace the MAP sensor? If not, good chance there's your problem.
I have a problem. I just bought a used 1995 Kawasaki 220 Bayou. The engine started running a little rough at first. Kept getting worse and then started backfiring through the exhaust. I had the carbeurator rebuilt but still runs rough and backfires. Cranks good and idles good. What could be my problem? Thanks
its a vacumn hose issue,,,need to look for a cracked hose at the rear of the motor,,down about half way .
U have a blown head gasket,cracked cylinder head or cracked block.. The white smoke is from water getting into the Exhaust system.
crankshaft sensor going.
Have the computer scanned for trouble codes. The problem may be a bad Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) or Idle Control Valve (ICV).
the 96 fordwindstar sucks
you pooped in your pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have 1998 a Lincoln town car with the same problem.. It idles rough when you start, then smooths out once it warms up and you give it gas. From what I am reading its either an oxygen sensor or you have vacume leak in one of your hoses by the manifold.
replace timing chain
