Ford Repair: running rich, fuel pressure regulator, k n air filter
QuestionI have a 1990 ford mustang 2.3L efi . It idles smooth and runs great but the fuel consumption is horrible about 4.5G/60 miles( 16.2L/100km). There is also black smoke in the morning when I start it for about 5 secs. Is the engine running rich and if so is there a fuel mixture adjustment or anything that I can try to fix this? I have already replaced the K&N air filter ( saved it )with a new paper filter and had no luck. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks for your time.
Answerfirst have it scanned for codes that might help decide which direction to go-then clean mass airflow-clean throttle bore and idle air control motor-pull hose off of fuel pressure regulator and make sure no fuel is in it if it is replace it-have ect sensor checked also could be sticking or dirty injector/s-also thermostat
