Ive driven my 87 2.3 everyday since 05/2008. So far the only big thing that ive changed on it has been the clutch, (its a 5 speed).
But lately its been sputtering and it smokes; black smoke.
When it starts to smoke i rev it up to 3000 to 4000 rpm and the smoke and sputtering stops for a little while, and soon does it all over again.
It doesnt smoke that bad, just a little bit and it smells like gas.
The engine idles at 1500 to 2000 rpm without me touching the accelerator .
The previous owner replaced the stock fuel pump with one from a 5.0.
The gas tank and fuel pump where new when i bought the car.
what going on
