More info... without reading your other posts, what maintenance if any has been done lately... last tune up was when? How many miles? Type of plugs used?

Have you cleaned the flame trap lately?

ive only had it for 4 months and its only had an oil change since, its got under 112,000 miles my check engine light and service light has been on for awhile but no one around here has an obd1 to diagnose what the problem is. an i have been thinking it might need a good tune up cuz i dont when the previous own did that ..

I would start with a tune up as well as cleaning the flame trap and the 'T' in the pipe from the flame trap to the intake.

Flame trap is on the passenger valve cover, kind of looks like a small can with a hose plugged into it. Remove the hose, unscrew the can.. remove the mesh and clean with some carb cleaner or degreaser, reinstall mesh. The 'T' should be able to blow air through it, it is probably completely clogged as well.

Remember the flame trap is nasty dirty, so don't wear nice things and expect them to be nice when you are done.
