Subject: [Syncro] I just want to drive??

Hi all,

I need some advice.  I was running rich in my 87 syncro.  I started
small on fixing things and it seemed to keep going fine until now.
About two weeks ago I went to drive across town to pick up some
stuff.  As I drove and van warmed up I had no acceleration and it
seemed to "hop" and everynow and again it would go fine.  I limped
the van home and stated to check stuff out.  With some advice I
cleaned all my ground wire connections, checked the air filter and
the little door way inside the 2 1/2 inch hose, unplugged the oxygen
sensor and had the temperature sensor replaced.  I went to drive it
again today and the same thing happend.  It started fine and then I
drove for about 10 min. and no acceleration, hopping and a general
feeling of no power.  As I was creeping home I noticed black smoke
out of the exhaust. Any ideas?  Is this really bad?  Do I need a new
engine?

I have no idea where to look now for the problem.  Any help in
getting my van running properly again would be great.  Thanks in
advance.
