If you've read any of my other previous posts, you've heard that my SC wasnt running right, as it stumbled, and stuttered. I checked the intank fuel pump/screen and it was okay. (I already had the tank dropped to change the transmission, so I figured what the hell) Anyways, I took it to a shop, and they reccomended that I change the spark plugs, and wires. I did so, and it ran pretty good. (Autolite plugs and Motorcraft Wires) Anywho, I've been driving it for a few weeks now, and it seems like its been losing power (cant spin in 1st anymore, cant chirp 2nd, and takes forever to get through second gear). My CEL is on (it was on before I started driving it 3 weeks ago), and I ran it with the scanner, and my 02 sensors are running rich (or lean, cant remember, it smokes black stuff though?) I just read that blown HG's can cause a failure of the 02 sensors, so it got me a-thinking. I also added about a gallon of coolant only after driving it 3 or so weeks. But It runs and idles at normal operating temperatures. Also, it doesnt blow white smoke (a typical sign of blown HG's?) I'm pretty much stumped..
(whoops, someone want to move it to the technical forum?)
