I have a 88 BII with the 2.9 V6 and the Auto Tranny. Okay so the engine starts up fine when cold but gets a little finicky when i have been driving it for awhile. At low RPMs (800-1000) it starts to get shaky and feel like its going to die but doesn't until it hits down to about 500-600 RPMs. It has hesitation upon acceleration and it blows carbon or black soot out the tail pipe at an idle when the engine is warm. There is no Check Engine light or OBD codes. I have noticed the oil level is getting low, but I know some oil leaks past the oil pan gasket. The engine runs strong (it puled through a locked caliper) and only has 114,000 miles. My 87 BII had 345,000 Miles and ran better than this one. I am very confused :[ so please help if you can!
Thanks, Tony
