ok, i posted about a week ago about my car just shutting off when driving sometimes, and occasionally a rough start up, but rarely. i was on my way to lunch today and it just shut off again. it wouldnt start for nothin, but when i attemped to start it, white/blue smoke coming out of the o2 dump..lots of it..fuel. well it wouldnt start. so i came back like 10 min later and tried it again, nothing. then i started pumping the gas when attempting to start and it started to go..but the first time was runing pig rich (black smoke everywhere) and didnt want to run. well i tried it again, still pumping the gas and there was some black somke but cleared up after i got to revving it. could this be one of the sensors on my TB sticking? i replaced the o2 sensor in hopes of fixing the problem, but now that it will shut off and fire back up only when pumping the gas, leads me to believe one of the sensors on the TB are sticking open or something. any help would be greatly appreciated.
