The smoke comming out is kinda black and when i really pound the gas pedal hard, i got black tar like stuff on my driveway, it just spits it out like hell. I drove it today up the hill and it seems like it will Die right then, but just before it would, it get another power shoot and goes up the hill. But as soon i take my foot of the gas pedal and let it just roll, for excample comming to a turn or stop sign, it goes out and i have to restart it....kick start it. When I disconnect the Idel stabelizer it runs better even up hill.....but still stalls even then. I even disconnectet the electrical Plug on the AFM meter and it was running, but was to afraid to take it on the road like that. I may have a vacum leak ??? how do i find that out ? Can i just take some dishsoap water mixter, spray it all over the engine and look for Bubbles or so ?? any advice would be greatly apriciatet.
