a few months back the air mass meter went bad, replaced, car ran fine, good gas milage 22-25 mpg. back to her home out of state 500 mile or so. she left town for six weeks and left car in garage ,when she got back the battery was dead(glove box light stayed on). she had car jumped off, drove around town for a day or two and made the trip back here. she said the "car was sick"bad fuel milage. started the car again and lots of black smoke and stalls. car will start but chokes out from too much fuel, or so it seems.ran comp check all cyl good.oil change and new plugs. swapped some of the old parts out no difference. could the ignition control unit be the culprit?not much info on how to check it. many thanks to all.
