EGR valve may be clogged. Try and locate it and remove it.....then clean it all out. Use a gas additive like Sea Foam or Lucas to get the Fuel Injectors clean after starting it.

SOURCE: my engine runs like the timing is off when I rev

This could be a TPC valve or sensor. That is a throtel position control. Your engine will idle or run at low speed fine or in stop and go traffic but highway driving or climbing a hill when the demand changes to heavy or light consumption it will surge the engine as it can't get a good read on what it is suppose to do. This is a resonable priced part and for about twenty bucks for a CHILTON manuel for your car it will give you step by step instructions on this and almost any project you want to try yourself. They will have these at your autoparts store.

SOURCE: 1995 chrysler cirruswill not start without holding gas pedal

It sounds like the fuel pressure regulator is bad. The regulator is vacuum operated and if the diaphram ruptures it allows gas to enter the intake manifold. This causes a rich mixture and floods the engine.

SOURCE: 91 Chrysler New Yorker runs very rich. sometimes

check that the map sensor vacuum hose is not leaking a leaking hose or a bad map sensor will cause the problem so will a bad cooant temp sensor. wireing to the above could be shorted or open.if a fuel injector were leaking or the controll wire to it were shorted to ground that also would cause it.if all the plugs were black when you changed them then look for an across the board problem like a sensor/vac hose/. if it had only one or two black plugs then look for grouned fuel injector wire or leaking injectors. one other possability could be a ruptured diaphram in the fuel pressure regulator. pull off vac hose and look for gas in the hose, start engine with hose off and see if gas comes out of the regulator if either have gas then replace regulator. oh forgot, that hose on the regulator has to have vacuum on it if it dont or hose leaks it will make fuel pressure to high and cause the problem. the exception to the vacuum at all times on the map censor and pressure regulator would be the 2.2/2.5l turbo. the vacuum to those censors is controlled with solonoids operated by the computer.
with engine off turn the key on/off/on/off/on and watch the check engine light it will start flashing the codes it will be like blink short pause then blink blink blink. that would be a code thirteen. if it has more than one code then after first it will blink out another always 2 digit codes if you miss count the blinks then turn off key for a minute and repeat. let me know what the codes are

Blowing black smoke

far too much fuel not getting completely burned upon iginition.
That leads on to look at:
-fouled fuel injectors, (clean them - run injector cleaner)
-lack of air to the intake (filter and clear out tubing),
-spark plugs are fouled, (replace them, ensure wires seated correctly on plug)
-ignition power is low or partial, (ignition system module not sending enough electricity to plugs)
-ignition wires are bad, (check/replace)
-ECM is failing or getting bad sensor readings. (shop diagnosis)
-cat convertors have been removed and sensors are at fault
Its a long list -- do the easy stuff yourself, leave hard stuff to a shop diagnosis.

2001 Ford 7.3L starts easy but runs rough (lopes)

Mine was doing the same thing. I spent a bunch of time and cash changing fuel pump, filter,etc. Nothing seemed to fix the problem. It ended up being the two filter screens inside of the gas tank were totally clogged with paint chips that were flaking off from inside of the tank. I don't know what caused the inside of the tank to do this. Had to clean the tank out and clean the two filter screens that are located inside of the tank.
Hope this helps you.... God Bless.

1990 oldsmobile CC SL running very rough, smoking, backfiring

Well Mike" a few things to check could be Breather on fuel tank /fuel return to tank pipe/ as pump can pump high pressure and excess has to return to tank and it sounds like yours is overfueling./take air cleaner off and all pipes and check for any thing partly blocking air flow/also check any black hoses coming from the engine breathers/going to air in take/make sure all cylinders got good compression

Diesel in gas in a 2008 Yaris

I would recommend draining the tank, replacing the fuel filter, you will probably have to replace the spark pugs as well. You may want to also blow out the fuel lines if easily accessible. Put in new gasoline, a fuel system additive, and run it for a little bit (may get some smoke for a bit, and my be hard to start at first and run rough). Hope this helps.
