2003 om612 sprinter...
I was above 1/4 tank, filled up.
Truck drove fine that afternoon. Later in the day, I stopped and let truck idle a few minutes... huge cloud of black smoke and weak acceleration away from stop, parked an hour, smoked on startup, but drove home 59 miles fine.
Next morning drove fine to work about 40 miles, then started getting sluggish and very Smokey.
Have to manually shift, no power, lots of black smoke.
I pulled air filter and shook the sand etc out of it... No change...
Drove to AutoZone, no codes stored... but as I left store, the check engine light came on...
Worried...
Thoughts?
