    AAAAAAAARG so sick of set backs

    Well last year I had some engine issue where the car would not stay running. I did a complete reset of the Fast EZ hand held and then cleaned the spark plugs and O2 sensor. Once I started it up I adjusted the adjustment screw to allow for more air to come in. Then she idled good.
    Last night I wanted to see how the lights work in the dark so started it up and it was idling at 2,000RPM. Got the Allan wrench out and adjusted once more to get back to about 1,000RPM.
    engine was running nicely for a while so I got in, put it in reverse and backed out of the garage.
    Halfway the drive way it just stalled out of no where again.:frown2:
    Let it cool down, pulled all the plugs, cleaned them and put them back in.

    Adjusted the adjustment screw to allow more air again and she started up so I could get it back in the garage (it's now after 10pm)

    This morning it started up again without issue so I pulled it outside to let it idle for a good long while. After adjusting a little more she ran nicely at 1,000RPM at idle.

    Still the exhaust is very black and is leaving a mark on the driveway.
    As I was filming that to get opinions from you guys I wanted to rev it a bit but you can hear it just stalls out again. Now the car had been idling for probably a good 30 min no problem.

    Then when trying to re-start the car just doesn't want to catch. You can also see smoke coming from the breather cap while trying to start.


    Then when you pull a spark plug they look like the attached pic.


    What in the Sam is going on?
