Well, when I started up and revved my Celica after work today, it started stumbling a lot. So I brought it home and immediately pulled the spark plugs to find they were extremely carboned, and not to mention hot. So I got 4 new ones and installed them, it ran fine until it got warm, and then it started missing again. It does it right when you hit 2200 RPMs. I noticed it is shitting out a lot of carbon out the rear, also, and tends to diesel when I shut the engine off sometimes. This is a carbureted version so I wonder if the carb needs adjusting. Anyone have any ideas what to look at next?

start with rebuilding the carb, and go from there.

Ok, does anyone happen to have a printed diagram of the carburetor on this thing so I know what's what?
