WOW Sounds like we have the same Van, I got a 90 with less than desirable gas millage and a little black smoke and magical gas gage.
I have noticed less dark exhaust when I put in a heavyer oil the last time I changed it. I could tell a big difference in the way the engin ran, I need to change it this week and I will telll if there is any deffence.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 07-Jan-02 AT 12:52 PM (EST)]Every Cold morning its sluggis and some times stall when I give it the gas. A lot of Poeple say you need to clean the TPS Throttel Positing Sensor, sorry I cant spell very well, but I have not tried to clean mine yet.

P.S. I only get about 16 to 18 miles a gallon but some times 20, I can usualy go about 300 miles on 19 gallons of gas.
