If the above answers don't work for you, the cat converter could be blocking up.

    Thank you, going to check that.

  • Randy K Jun 03, 2017

    Going to pull cat and maybe see if it is clogged.

    Check for exhaust flow at the tail pipe for cat test.

    Remember do the cheapest fixes first. check the coolant temp sensor, it may have the ECU in open loop mode (cold, fuel rich).

First change the Air filter, Then perform an OBDII scan of the stored fault history. Look for a (MAF) mass airflow sensor or (MAP) manifold absolute pressure sensor. The only sensor that is subject to physical wear(1996, age) is the (TPS) throttle position sensor. Let the OBDII scan be your guide to any repairs to avoid buying parts you don't need. A dirty air filter can put the mass airflow sensor out of range. Do the cheapest fixes first.

It sounds like you might have a misfire that is causing the engine to run rich, hence the sputtering and black smoke. When is the last time that you replaced the spark plug wires and the spark plugs? If the 1996 plug wires are like the 1997 plug wires used on the 4.3L S-10, they can be pretty difficult to get a reliable connection at the distributor cap.

1990 mustang 5.0 runs ruff and spits and sputters and fluds out black smoke out exhaust .sometimes straightens out and runs good.what could be the problem?changed throtle positon sensor and still same

Try pouring a full can of seafoam into the gas tank with a full tank. That should clean out all the carbon and build up on the valves while lubricating at the same time. You can also use deep creep ( aerosol seafoam ) and spray into your throttle body or into a vacuum line going into the intake manifold. After all this, the engine should run smoothly, if not i would get a tune up to be sure everything's good.

Both products can be bought at any auto part store. They will definitely clean out any build up.

After starting car it sputters and white smoke from exhast. I drive the car for 5 min, sputtering the whole time, and turn it off - will not start until it is cranked and gas pressed for couple min. Then...

White smoke is usually from water and water will make the car splutter. Did you get water in your tank at some time. If you have water in your fuel, you will have to drain the tank and refill with good fuel. The engine will run fine once it is hot but if a lot of water goes into a hot cylinder it can cause a lot of damage.

ROUGH IDLE,WET SPARKPLUGS,KILLS

The Symptoms tell me it is a head gasket. A leaky or bad head gasket would cause all of the problems that you mentioned.

Burning water causes White Smoke, Burning Oil causes Black Smoke. The oil and water are mixing with the gas in the cylinders and causing it to run bad. Pull out the dipstick and look at the oil on it. Does it look like good oil? Or does it look watery and or foamy or grey colored. Open up the radiator and look inside, do you see oil?

This seems almost text book to me... I would have someone local to you to have a look at it to be sure.
