pilotblake Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Did you say you have a gas engine blowing black smoke? Blue is oil, and white is coolant/water most commonly from a head gasket but maybe you already know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 A bad oxygen sensor often results in a rich mix, which prodices unburned hydrocarbons and black smoke. It also destroys catalytic converters pretty quick, since the converter has to work overtime to try to clean up all that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueXJ Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Check the airfilter. If it is dirty or oil soaked then it starves the engine for air and thus you end up with a rich mixture. Rich mixture = black smoke and destroyed catalytic converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
