Car blows black smoke and fouls out new plugs with gas in no time. Any ideas of what the problem may be? 1990 240 car.

Sounds like a bad injector(s) or a fpr.

Look for the lower radiator hose. it'll take you to the thermo housing. Behind the thermo, you should see two sensors, one with a single wire and the other with two wires. The CTS is the one with two wires.
