My beloved 745GL Wagon ran fine this past week. Took her on a 600mi trip and managed 27 mpg on the trip back from Long Island. My wife said the check engine light came on today. Car is now idling poorly and running really rich ( black smoke out the tail pipe). I read the FAQ and have managed to retrieve the 3 trouble codes. They are 1-1-3,2-2-1, and 2-3-1. Car has had the FPR replaced last summer. It runs worse when I disconnect AMM, which I noticed was very hot while running. I will try to check FPR tomorrow as per FAQ. I did recently run some Redline Fuel system cleaner thru her. Is it possible I have a stuck injector or bad AMM? I am not a mechanic but can follow directions pretty well, so I will try to trouble shoot with the help of the FAQ. A little advise and/or encouragement from more knowledgable Bricksters would be greatly appreciated. Wife needs this car to run. Thanks for reading my Long post and help me keep this great car ROLLING.
