Thanks for reading.
1988 Dodge D150(2wd) 318/5.2L manual transmission, 175k.
Starts/runs fine...except after getting it nice and hot, it will not idle without feathering the gas pedal, and runs rich, as evidenced by black and wet tailpipe, smell of gasoline. It will stall when you stop, and before it gets to the point of stalling, it runs rough. Plugs, cap and rotor have been replaced fairly recently.
Temperature gauge shows normal operating temp.
This is the TBI, or "injector carburetor" setup. As mentioned, it runs flawlessly when cold, starts immediately without pushing the gas. When hot, you have to give it some gas to get it to start.
I am thinking it may not be getting out of the startup rich loop and may be flooding (?) but wanted to check with everyone here. Thanks for your comments.
