Long time no post!
Is this the one I sold you that had the fan switch give out? If so, I
vote for replacing the headgasket (ok maybe do a compression test first)

Subject: Long time no post!
It's been probably two years since I last posted. Been too busy with
the
daughters. Daughter #1 is 4 and #2 is 2 now. So I've been taking pity
on my
poor fleet of rocs that has been languishing in the yard. I charged up
the
battery on my 86.5 16V and moved it around to where I can work on it.
I'm sure
I've forgotten too much about rocs over the past few years so I'd like
to
run a problem by y'all for some advice. Here's what she's doing:
Starts up just fine and runs fine while it warms up. Once it starts
getting
warm, there is an increase in "soot" in the exhaust and there's that
"sweet/rich" smell to the exhaust. When I rev it I get a lot of black
exhaust. On
the road it runs like a scalded ape, just with the black smoky exhaust.
I'm leaning towards either the O2 sensor or a faulty DPR. Am I on the
right
track?
Tom in Tucson
