This car is making me mad. I was driving it today for about an hour and was cruising about 70mph on the Interstate when all of a sudden, the car feels like it hit a wall. Can barely move under its own power. Check engine light comes on, starts idling very rough. Idles at about 500rpm when in park. When i give it gas, it acts like it wants to cut out and die, but it never does. I swept my finger through the tailpipes and got alot of black soot, so im assuming its running rich. That and I can smell fuel pretty strong. What all should be the first things to check? I wanted to see what the code for the CE light was, but I have no clue how to pull codes on it. Autozone told me their code reader is no good on any car older than a 96. Someone please help me out!
