Black smoke?

08-08-2004, 11:37 PM

Today, my brother was driving behind me and noticed that when i go WOT it spits out black smoke from the exhaust. My question being, what is the most likely cause of this. My enging has about 180k on it.

P.S. I have noticed higher oil consumtion latley, but my head is also leaking more.

Ok, Thats what i figured too, Running rich. Now to figure out why? Engine is stock,as is the fuel system. Leaking injectors maybe? Bad FPR?

At WOT the car cuts out the O2 sensor signal and runs closed-loop....
