 Car just shut off
howdy all, I am new to this van forum but i use the truck forum alot. but
anyways, down to business. I have '93 aerostar and over the past couple of
weeks ive noticed that my gas mileage has gone down. normally i can go like 2
weeks on my normal day to day comute, but this past couple of weeks ive had
to fill up alot faster. Anyways, one night i went to crank my van and it
shudderd really bad, i stuck it in reverse and nothin happened and i gave it
some gas and nothin happened.
so i cut it off and then cranked it up again and then
it ran fine. So I drove on home and then on the highway i noticed to dark blue
smoke coming from my tailpipe...(ok so im burning rich) so now what? well i
kept driving and then it just shut off on me, power steering and everything.
and now i have it parked waiting
to be worked on. any information would help.
---one thought is that the fuel pressure regulator has gone bad and the motor is flooded.
--- some one said somethin to me bout the serpintine belt, because of everything just shuttin off, but im not too sure bout that. |
