it stalls while driving, never while idling. ive changed air filter, pcv valve, plugs and wires. and when it starts back up a cloud of black smoke comes out of the exhaust. it only does this once it has stalled and restarted. the cutting off is coming more and more frequently, hot or cold. oh, the odometer is broken. its over 150000 miles but i dont know what the mileage is.
