Have a troubleshooting question. My 15 year old picked up a 91 4x4 2.3 short regular cab. been sitting for some time ( 3 years) due to electrical issues. We got them figured out. Now on to other issues since it is running. It is billowing black smoke. I mean fog the neighborhood and get you high on raw gas.
We replaced the FPR, which is a whole different story trying to remove that thing. No change. It will run and drive and idle. It does die randomly at stops or if you rev it and let off quick. I have put fresh fuel in and ran seafoam through it in the tank.
What would be the next items you would troubleshoot? Injector stuck open? I have not pulled plugs yet to look for wetness as I could not get a flooded start sequence test to work by flooring it. I replaced them and wires when we took possession of the truck. I know temp sensor for dash gauge needs replaced as gauge is off. would that throw computer off and affect anything Thanks for any advice
