loss of power and black smoke ! 850

posted by  someone claiming to be phill on  Fri Oct 8 09:43 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a 94 855T with 144K on it. About a month ago it started to lose power when on the highway. It was not a huge deal it just felt strange.
Last weekend i cleaned the trottle body and egr. Ever thing was great after that, Or so i thought.
Yesterday I pulled out of the toll booth the car shifted out of 1st into 2nd and lost all power. I kept my foot on the gas and could see black smoke and a big truck in the mirror. Then it just took off.
Its better if i am real lite footed, thats hard for me.
The car had a tune up at 120K new plugs,cap,rotor,fuel filter.
any help would be great. Thanks
