Default 1996 volvo 850(non turbo) getting too much fuel.

Hello, I have a 1996 volvo 850, that is getting to much fuel. When I come to stop it stalls out. Going down the road I can smell unburnt fuel. The plugs are char-coal black. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thanks.

MAF and O2's

Get some MAF cleaner spray from Autozone and give your maf sensor a good cleaning.

You might also try pulling your ECU and let it re-learn.

Could also be a bad fuel pressure regulator... see if the vac line to it is wet with fuel..
