Car is losing power accelerating. Loses power going up hill, and I can floor it, it won't shift and get up and go. VERY strong smell of gasoline, and tonight started getting a lot of blue smoke. Don't think getting a code is going to work on this one. Any idears? TIA.

I dunno, just came on over the last few days. We're gonna do some basic diagnostic and see if we can figure it out.

Try running some fuel additives. STP or BG... Something like that.
Get a compression test too. It could be just some fouled plugs or something simple but it sounds to me like the old girl might need some serious work.

I have an oil filter from a 93 F-250 in my garage if you need it.

Contact Argo if you need a "new" car. I heard he has one to sell.

I don't think that is what he meant by having/providing "tranny" work....

If it's got coil packs I'm guessing it's early 2000s. 4.6l?

Serious question. Are you thinking antifreeze? I'm a decent shade tree mechanic and just curious what sweet smoke points to
