Insane constant smoking, no power
Hey guys.. After 2 years or so of sitting I got my 91 NA running. it smokes like a **** upon startup, if I can even get it running...The car is running pig rich. I pull the EGI fuse and crank = no smoke. EGI back in, smokes like crazy, usually floods the engine. I know the smoke is gas. Why would it run so damn rich tho? Once the car actually runs it bucks all around the engine bay like a crack addict suffering from withdrawl. Still smokes insanely... I tried moving the car once the smoke seemed to clear up. I managed to get it moving at around 2, 3, maybe 5 miles per hour, but any amount of gas nearly stalls the engine. Prior to getting it running, when cranking.. the exhaust litteraly through up what must have been a pint or two of nasty black water. Any ideas? Car only has 80k, engine was supposedly rebuilt before I bought it.

That can cause such an insane power loss? Any recommendations where to go for cleaning? Deatschwerks I remember from a while ago, but something more on the budget. Or would regular injector cleaner work?
