Looking for some help since Howell's tech line is closed on weekends.
I searched the previous posts for help but couldn't find anything with the same issue.
I installed the Howell on my CJ7, 1984, 258. Other than the TBI it is bone stock. I followed the instructions to the letter. After all was installed, checked and checked again, I jumped in the drivers seat for what should have been the crowning moment of glory. Not so. It started just fine. But it poured black smoke from the exhaust. It is getting way too much fuel. I unplugged one of the injectors and the Jeep started to idle closer to what it should, but still pours out smoke under acceleration.
Any suggestions while waiting for Howell to open?
