Blowing Smoke need help

[HypedAccent]

Hey Guys

Been a long time since i been on here, but i need help, my car is blowing black smoke, and at idle there is a bit of a chug in the engine, the exhaust vibrates a bit as well...


Any ideas as to what it could be???

sounds like a rex?

if yes youve got a missfire,

check your plugs and leads first.

something is burning up your oil to my knowledge... get your car warmed up, then leave it running, pop the bonnet, open the oil cap on the engine block, put you hand over it for bout 5 secs and see if u got oil on your hand, if so, not a good thing. this is worst case scenario

black smoke = running rich ie missfire out of tune etc..
blue/white smoke = oil or coolant

Too much fuel going through..

Have to wait to get my hands on a scan tool caus cant see the problemo at the moment, hopefully the scan tool pics it up with all the mods i have done otherwise off to a workshop to get fixed...

Okay found the problem and fixed the problem, the 02 sensor was dead, so replaced that and whilst i was doing that i noticed the air filter was gone too much water and very dirty put a new filter washable this time and all is well. Still runs a lil lean but need to get engine management to fix that.

Thank all for the help

i know this post is a bit old but:

Black/brown smoke = Too much fuel not getting burnt...
Blue/white = Oil being burnt...
White = water in combustion chamber (common problem for incorrectly done turbos)...
