Hello, my truck when its at an idle it starts to sputter out the exhaust tip and isn't a clean idle. When my idle goes up a little, when i press the gas pedal it will not go for a second as if theres too much fuel getting in. Also if i press down all the way there will be black type of smoke coming out the exhaust and the truck will be sputtering then it kicks in and goes. what do you think it is?
