It also could be an issue with your turbo pressure. Check your turbo pressure hose (located to the left of the engine, between the intercooler and the intake manifold. It's a black, L-shaped hose) These hoses are prone to cracking.

It sounds like you have a fuel problem. your injectors are spraying too much gas into your engine.it could be a bad injector, an injector o-ring, or even a fuel pressure regulator. is your check engine light on at all?

My vw caravelle has black smoke coming from the exhaust n losing power on the hills n it sometimes not idle, what might be the problem ? and I have just serviced the car

Check your air filter. Might be clogged / dirty. Replace if needed. Loss of power is due to leaky fuel injectors or fuel pressure regulator.

I'm not sure if it's a bog at low rpms but my 97 yzf1000 doesn't feel crazy fast between 1-3k Could it be because I have my ex up valve wide open? Or am I losing power internally? Thanks 4 the help

Could be to little fuel, clogged fuel filter. Or to much fuel, fuel regulator is bad. dumping fuel in the intake. This would cause black smoke when taking off or at start ups.

Engine not revving out at times

black smoke is excess fuel entering the cylinders. and does not burn completely. poor fuel milage is also a complaint of black smoke from tailpipe.check your O2 sensor, your MAF sensor and for vacuum leaks. Could be air intake check your air filter, but probably the O2 sensor.The O2 sensor. located on the exhaust pipe prior to the muffler, looks like a spark plug with a wire that comes off the tip and leads into the wire loom.But the 02 sensor will turn the check engine light on.other intake components like sensors, fuel injectors and the fuel-pressure regulator.should be checked. good-day!

Black smoke coming from exhaust pipe

black smoke is coming from exhaust possible causes--- excess fuel enters cylinders and does not burn completely. poor fuel milage is also a common complaint, when black smoke comes out tailpipe its running to rich!! This can be caused by anything from a computer malfunction to a leaking fuel injector. A possible fix would possibly be a tune up or carburetor/fuel injection work. run some good injector cleaner in it, it may fix the problem. but if not check it out further. good-day !!

I have white smoke coming from my tailpipe in my 01 chevy impala, also engine coolant is leaking on the right side of the radiator where a little white smoke comes out if the car is running for about 10...

I have an 01 Impala 3.8 engine. At first start-up white smoke is seen, smells like raw gas, and tail pipe is black as coal. Fuel milage isn't good either. Would the regulator be bad?

Smoking white smoke at idal and lots of black at 1500 and above . a little miss at 1500rpms no power lose

Black smoke is a sign of an overly rich fuel/air mixture. White smoke is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. Most likely you have a blown head gasket. Other symptoms are loss of coolant with no apparent leak, loss of power, miss, oil level overfull, a white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap. Stop driving this truck until you find the problem. Driving it with a blown head gasket will destroy the engine. A compression test will verify this.

It is running too rich burning too much gas

if you look at the reverse of the fuel pump you will see a 13mm nut holiding a 10mm bolt. undo the 13mm lock nut and turn the 10mm in or out to adjust the mixture, this is easy as you can run the engine with the adjuster lose so you can high rev it and adjust all the black smoke away. dont go too far or your power loss will be devastating, you need to listen to your engine and look for smoke at the same time. i always leave a little black smoke at the high end of the revs this will give you enough power but wont black out the street.
