1993 Explorer 4.0l runs when check engine light is on

Nov 27, 2007 0 Replies

I just changed engine in a 93 Explorer 4.0l, a/t.



The new engine runs great when cold. Once thermostat opens it runs great ONLY when check engine light is ON. Once light goes out, then it runs and idles rough - like it is just dumping fuel. The exhaust is black.



Have only drove about 30 miles max.



Please provide suggestions.



The new engine was also from a 93 Explorer.



Please advise.
