I know, lame spin-off of chicken/egg but blah! So my jeep has been parked for something like a year. I knew when I parked it that the mileage blew royal dead goat d!ck but now that it's back on all fours and "purring" again, there's quite alot of black smoke coming out. So I checked the plugs and they're horrible black. but dry/black. So I dunno if I'm getting black smoke out my pipe because the plugs can't burn the normal amount of fuel coming in or if the plugs are black because I have a severe rich problem. I did an oil change before I fired it up for the first time so I thought it might've been like old oil that had just leaked down past the valve seals but it's still doing it a week later. It's not insured yet so I couldn't tell you what kinda mileage it's actually getting. Also the idle seems a bit on the lumpy side and I'm contributing this to the plugs but I don't want to put a new set in just to foul them. Although it might be my only option at this point.
