Now I have an oil leak some where, a ticking sound in my lifters and black smoke coming out of my exhaust when I change gears. It kind of makes a sound like when you get water in the spark plug's. It just wants to bog out and also my check engine light blinks when it does this. Can anyone help me?????????????

If the oil smells like gas change it quick. If no fuel pressure problem is found check the ECT, MAF, and TPS. The blinking CEL indicates missing/misfiring. If you have never changed your plug wires - do that. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" -George Santayana
