Smoking, spitting and sputtering

Featured Replies

I finally solved my problem of a high idle when coasting by replacing the auxillary air regulator. However, now a new problem has arisen. When we crank the car it now emits black smoke and spits and sputters when running. This problem didn't exist before. It's running rich and I just replaced the plugs today but the problem is still there. Any ideas?
