Do all 94 Pro DX have low fuel warning light? Just acquired the car a few weeks ago.
A few days ago while driving, all in a sudden car started jerking and weak in accelaration, black smoke coming out of exhaust also. Fuel gauge needle was slightly above empty mark, and no low fuel warning light.
That scared me and didn't know what's happening, fortunately I was close to home and managed to get the car home. Turned off the engine, and found soot in tail pipe, before it was quite clean.
Since fuel was low, I put in 3-gal of gas and re-started the engine, then surprisingly everything worked fine, no black smoke, nothing wrong. And it's been driving fine since then.
Now I am a little concerned about the fuel delivery system in this car. It just went crazy without low-fuel warning.
Anthing do I need to check for that scary black smoke?
Also I felt a single quick jerk twice when driving in 4th and 5th gears. Not sure what was that.
BTW, the car has manual transmission and 1.8L SOHC engine, 127k miles.
Thanks for comments.
