I bought a 95 mustang, has a fireball coil, cold air kit, I done the basic tune-up plugs, cap, rotor, wires, all filters. Car runs fine, but has very little power for a mustang, heistates on hard acceleration and black smokes as well, I have cleaned the MAF and no change, and gas mileage is not to par, so what all should I be checking now?

I've never battled this problem....but just looking at what you've done, have u checked the fuel pressure? Perhaps the regulator is out of whack and the pressure is really high causing more fuel to be injected?


Any check engine lights/error codes? o2 sensors ok?

Make sure you have the firing order correct also, then check timing.
