My 89 760, daughter driving it, just stopped on her out of the blue.

Battery is new (1 week old), but positive cable was a bit loose ...tightened.
Jumped car, it ran - barely idled low - then died when lights turned on (night).
Jumped again, drove for a short distance with parking lights on - sputtered and quit - just like it ran out of gas (but it has plenty).

White smoke out back at idle ...running rich ?? Has not been doing this before.

After it quit, I was able to roll up power windows, so battery is strong enough to do that chore - making me think that after jumping off - it should have run - even if the battery was a bit down.

WEIRD ..the push button for the air - the one on the right - blinks continually.

Please ..I read the FAQs - could be the hall effect in the distributor, or the power stage - but I am hoping for more ideas.

Thanks.
