Re: black smoke and popping from the tailpipe? Mine does the same thing, I think its just cause the engine is cold, because it stops when it warms up, It doesnt bother me to much, because it stops, maybe carbon being burnt off? i dunno.

Re: black smoke and popping from the tailpipe? If you guys are getting black smoke w/pops. Then your engine is running rich. Check your air/fuel ratio. You gotta lean it out.

Re: black smoke and popping from the tailpipe? Wicked, have you recently done headers and ORP? If so, without tuning you will run rich and that will happen. Mine does it right now really bad. I've just been too lazy to get some tuning done. At any rate, headers or not, it sounds like you are running rich. Get some tuning and some horsies to boot.

Re: black smoke and popping from the tailpipe? You guy's beat on your engine's when there cold? Keep doing that & you'll have more complaints than just smoke. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
