- 1994 XLT
94 XLT.. 160,000 miles on it. I just replaced the plugs and it's still doing the same thing. Rough idle, doesn't really smooth out, feels like NO power. Exhaust is black (but not thick.. just wispy black smoke) and smells like I'm pouring straight fuel out of the tailpipe.
Plugs had a little bit of black soot on them but otherwise looked fairly clean.
This problem came on suddenly. No other symptoms at all. The vehicle was sitting outside parked for several days.
I'm going to: replace the plug wires and clean the MAF.
Can anybody think of any other issues that could cause this? While running, the Check Engine light does go on but the code reader I have is a piece o' crap and is difficult to get information from. (It's a cheapie that just beeps instead of displaying numbers on a screen)
