Reply to marc C's Post: no engine light, but too much fuel sounds right i've have a feeling its my injector, but not sure, wonder if computer is malfunctioning. i plan to remove the fuel filter and check that as well as try cleaning the throttle body. it just spits and sputters dark black smoke. beyond that i cant describe any other symptoms.
