Question No clue

I have a 90 ranger 2.3 that seems to have a mind of it,s own lately. About a mounth ago it started pouring black smoke out every once in a while, now it seems to be getting worse. I did the normal things like clean Maf, fuel regulator was changed last year,checked for vaccum leaks the whole works. I pulled KOEO codes an got 33,41,66,88,95 any suggestons to what could be the problem .

No i have not ,but will a bad pvc valve cause this. Also since it has been almost a year could it be a bad pressure regulator.

I'm not a professional mechanic, so this advice is worth what you're paying for it. :-)

A blocked PCV valve will cause increased pressure within the engine and can cause oil to go places you don't want it to.

I'm not sure if you found what your codes mean or not, but if they are OBD1 then here is what they mean.

O = KOEO
R = KOER
C = Continuous Memory

33 (R,C) EGR valve fault/ not closing properly

41 (R) HEGO/HO2S sensor voltage low/system lean
(C) No HO2S switching detected or sensor signal out of range.

66 (O,C) TOT sensor signal input below self-test minimum, or vane air flow circuit below minimum.

88 (O,C) Choke relay out of range or Dual plug input control failure or shift solenoid 3/4-4/3

95 (O,C) fuel pump secondary circuit fail.
