- 1991 ford explorer
My 1991 explorer is posessed i swear! my engine idles rough shaking the whole car and emits black smoke from the tail pipe when i start it that smells horrible and has now painted my curb black. also my volts jump from 10-13 while its warming up and when driving at temperature. when i come to a stop the engine slows way down, the volts dip and wants to die, 1/2 the time it does, but if im at a light for a while with my foot on the brakes my truck wants to lurch forward when my volts spike at 13 and if im not heavy on the brakes i jump forward. when i give it gas at a light, theres a 1 second delay where the engine recieves no power, then it jumps forward with more gas than i gave it and proceeds to jump or lurch forward, almost jerking as my volts spike and dip. at a speed around 45 i cant feel the jumping as severely but my volts still go crazy. in addition to the truck jumping or jerking at acceleration, i can see the black cloud from my truck in the mirror.
any knowledge on this would greatly help and be appreciated. im afraid to drive it cuz at lights and stops i feel im either gonna hit the guy in front of me when it lurches, or be rear ended when i lose power at acceleration, and the black smoke worries me.
