OK i am new to these cars but so far it's ben a great car until this happened. i have a 88 mustang with a 88 thunder-bird 4cyl turbo in it, but here is the problem. i went to the store i shut my car off a then went it to get some stuff and then i got in my car and went to start it, it started up and i stepped on the gas kind of hard and then it started to run like nuts and then there was no power when i would try to drive it i would give it some gas and it would go and then it would start to lag like start to die kind of it was blowing blueish black smoke it it smells like gas really bad and when i rev it it will not go over 2300 rpm it sounds like a rev limiter or a 2 step which i don't got any of those . i finelyot it home and when i did i lifted the hood and started it up and i reved it it sounds like a blow off valve is coming thru the intake behind my air filter i just bought a fuel pressure regulator but i was told that that cant be it, but the car is blowing that kind of smoke then its fuel, its running rich right??? then people told me that it could be the TFI which had that go bad on me but it ain't that because my car starts up fine and idles good but sounds like is has a bad a.s.s cam in it. no rods are knocking. but i don't have any help with this and i need to fix it so i can go back to school. but could it be the sensor on the throttle body??? then i was told that it could be the distributor. or it jumped time. could it have jumped time. could that make it run like this or no. o it is a 5 speed Manuel? please some one help me out i need my car back up and running so please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
