Please help tuners!! I posted another thread describing my problem, and i got it fixed, or so i thought. NOW, when ever i turn the car and its fine, until the engine warms up, then the idle starts dropping, almost to a stall, and whenever you hit the throttle all this black smoke shoots out the exhaust, i know the car is running extremly rich, but still can't figureout what the prob is, someone please help, im not trying to take it to a dealer or someone else and pay a ton of money unless it's neccessary!!!

You already know what the "problem" is: It's running too rich... Now, you just need to narrow down the source of the problem... Sounds like it might be stuck in the warm up enrichment mode (or whatever DSM'ers call it). Car will run pig rich on start during warm up (this is normal), but doesn't lean out after the temp comes up. Too rich at idle makes the RPM's drop. Perhaps a temperature sender?

what is a temp. sender?

Let's the car know what the coolant temp is... You could even have a problem with the thermostat? There's a ton of possibilities.
