Need help for smoke problem - CA20E
« on: Mar 30, 2006, 02:00PM »
My ford Corsair 2lt Auto 1990 is blowing some smoke when I accelerate. It doesn't blow smoke at idle. When someone press the acceleration really hard, it blows cloud of black smoke. The ECM light came on for a couple of times around 6/7 months back. ECM stayed off since then. I think it has been blowing smoke recently?

I had a look at engine oil, coolant and valve clearance. They look ok to me. Got a smoke Stop from BigW. It doesn't seem to work.  Anyone  have any idea where to start from to get rid of this smoke problem? Anyone who faced the same problem and got rid off it?

Thanks in advance.

black smoke is excess fuel. You need a tune up - check that all the electrical connections around the inlet manifold are on and secure.

Stop Smoke products are designed to stop Blue smoke, which is oil getting past your piston rings and being burned with the fuel.

once again a search* may help -

try typing in black smoke
radical

*(by the way to everyones relief I won't post telling someone to SEARCH again)

however if you fix the problem in a special way - don't forget to let everyone know now.

tried it with no conlclusive remark. One of my friend said that it can't be injectors or distributor or manifold as the black smoke is not there when the car is in idle. you can see smoke when you press the accelerator!

One of my friend said that it can't ...

he's wrong

ok what you do is you

check your ecm for codes and that it's running right in closed loop (flashly on/off as per FSM)

you check your spark plugs/ leads etc

you check/clean all the electrical connectors for sensors, ecu etc

you check all your sensors/leads that you can (with multimeter) using FSM instructions

then if you haven't fixed it ask for help again, if you have reply - how

most everything you need to know you can find on this website but you do need to look read and try to understand what everything does.
