Black smoke indicates incomplete combustion - the mixture is far too rich for efficient operation, or you have poor ignition. Check the engine service codes; they may indicate what has failed. Almost certainly your spark plugs are fouled. Clean them and check the gaps to make sure they are within specification, and replace the plugs if they are significantly eroded. Verify that the spark plug cables are good, and if your vehicle uses a mechanical distributor, check that and the rotor also.

That's a start on the diagnosis. (Usually if the engine is worn out, you'll have blue smoke from burning oil, not black smoke. Do a compression test before giving up on the engine.)

Have the fault codes read for faults Replace the faulty units with genuine one
because most aftermarket units are not set for OEM cpu units and are not
completely compatible.

Why my Isuzu 4bc2 truck engine producing blue smoke at starting and too much black when it gets hot?

Blue smoke is oil, and if it happens are start up, it means your piston rings are worn particuarly the bottom oil scraper ring. May be coupled with worn bores as well, depending on how many million miles you have done?

Black smoke is rich mixture.

2006 HYUNDAI Elantra develops heavy black smoke and low pulling power runs 147198kms. Please supply the causes

the cause of the heavy black smoke is un-burnt fuel. is from excessive fuel pressure, faulty injectors,ignition timing out. If it is a turbo operation then the turbo is not producing the correct boost for the fuel settings . Check turbo for vane actuation . low power comes from overfuelling, low air flow. run the fault codes to see which sensors are out of parameter.

Jaguar x 2.0 Diesel Problem no power alot of black smoke coming out as you drive , now i have oil on rad and all over battery

run fault codes and look for EGR valve and pcv valve faults. Black smoke is unburnt diesel so it may be the injectors need attention. If it is a turbo then check the oil lines to the turbo and check turbo operation as it may not be producing air pressure for the engine.

Smoking

The issue is the engine is running rich (too much fuel or not enough air) So the things that you can check are the air filter, oil level, coolant. The rest is determined by diagnostics to see if the turbo is not producing enough compression or the injectors are worn

Car was running fine next lost power hard to keep running black smoke comes from exhaust acts like running on 3 cylinders

Black smoke is from oil burning through the exhaust. It sounds like the rings are shot since a lost of power is your problem. If power was not an issue it would be a bad valve seal
