Running Rich - 92-4.0L
I have a 92 Wrangler, 4.0L that is running real rich. Plugs go black, black
smoke from exhaust.
I put a new O2 sensor in a month ago, but it is still running rich. I have
gone through and cleaned out the TB, and TPS & AIC sensors, still rich.
What else could cause this?
smoke from exhaust.

Cheap ones first.
- loose or broken vac line to the fuel pressure regulator?
That results in too high a fuel pressure under normal operation.
- Or too low a heat range on the plugs.
If they are running cold they will soot up.
Bad coil/weak spark that's not igniting each charge and letting some of
the fuel through. leaking injectors (but usually that's only on one cyl).
Clogged cat can result in backpressure problems.
Any fault codes?
