I have a 1994 GMC Safari Van, Z engine, with 103,000 miles on it. It began a month ago. It started O.K, but jumped/hesitated like an old car used to do when the choke was stuck shut. I limped it along a few days and then it wouldn't start at all. I replaced the fuel pump & strainer, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, 3 vacuum hoses (only one was noticeably bad), and 2 days ago had the catalytic converter cut out and a straight pipe put in. It runs better, but lacks power, sometimes is hard to start (I have to floor it to start it), and it emits black smoke.
