When my motor revs to 4500 under full throttle in any gear, it starts popping and pouring black smoke. I guess that means the distributor is going bad. Unless someone has had this scenario before.

 

By the way, it runs fine otherwise.

 

Kinda sounds like a weak opti, or a dying fuel pump. Check you fuel pressure, make sure it is above 40psi with the vacuum line disconnected.

 

How can it get too much fuel with a dying fuel pump? It blows out black smoke when it starts skipping indicating unburnt fuel.

 

check your coil wire

 

You can't. That's why I said make sure it is above 40 psi because if its below that, you have a problem. I guess I overlooked the black smoke part of your original post That makes me lean more towards an ignition system problem. I'd take a good look at your opti.

 

What can I do to check the coil wire exactly? I mean, it's there, so....

 

i would just pull it off, make sure the connectors arent all ate up.
i've seen a few that were croaded(sp) to the coil

 

Alright, I will give that a shot. Any chance that I can get away with just replacing the cap, rotor, plugs, and wires.

 

If your in there you may as well replace the whole opti.

 

Ok, the coil wire had corrosion on it, thanks for the help.
