    I have an 89 NY'er Landau (the V6 3.0) its idling VERY rough, and im
    getting a bit of black exhaust out of tailpipe and rough starts and
    stalling and strangely it does this on right hand turns as well as
    upon startup.Also,if ireallyfloor he gas pedal in park t sounds as
    though it is misfiring at high RMPS.am i just in need of a tune up? only
    fault code im getting is 34 which is some kind of speed sensor near the
    tranaxle according to haynes guide,but my friend replaced that about 6
    months ago-seems prmature for failure you would think? Any and all help
    greatly appreciated!THANKS

    I would be looking for a cracked plastic vacuum hose to the M.A.P.
    sensor. The plastic gets hard and cracks after 10 years.
    Replace the plastic hoses with a new rubber hose of the correct dia to
    fit the end fittings.

    I forgot to tell you to also check the fuel pressure and the fuel
    pressure regulator. If you remove the manifold vacuum hose from the
    regulator the fuel pressure should increase about 10 psi. If it don't
    either your vacuum hose is broken or the regulator is broken. Do this
    several times with the car running to make sure the regulator is not
    sticking.

  5. First off, throw your Haynes book in the trash; it's telling you lies
    (which is completely standard with Haynes books). Code 34 has to do with
    the cruise control.

    Secondly, what's needed is proper diagnosis. It may be something to do
    with your MAP sensor or the hose and pipework leading to it, but guessing
    at it will cost you money.
