SOURCE: diesel fuel injection fault

Black smoke usually means a fuel problem, try changing the fuel filter and get an injector cleaner from tesco's or asda they're about £3 to£5, if your gonna change your fuel filter you might as well change the oil and filter and the air filter at the same time

SOURCE: 2006 VW tdi black smoke while accelerating

Hi
The only sensible way forward is to get a list of fault codes from the onboard diagnostic system and take it from there. You could either go to a VW dealer, or if you are technically minded you could buy a £15 interface cable, download some free "VAG diagnostic software" and run it on a portable computer.
There are lots of possible reasons for the problem and guessing will not really help. If these suggestions turn out to be sound, please give my reply a "Fixya!"rating, If they do not, please hold off rating and add a comment with more details so I can try to help you further. Cheers, D

SOURCE: volvo 1998 v70 tdi loss

I don't know about the turbo running at half, but I can give you two ideas.

If it only started after the timing belt was replaced there is a very good chance that the timing is off. The car has very specific instructions due to the variable valve timing.

There is also a chance that there is a hole in one of the turbo hoses. One way to check for a leaking turbo hose is to put the car in reverse and set the parking brake. have someone listen for a large air leak while you power stall the engine. if there is a leak it will make a lot of noise and you can feel for it with your hand, just don't burn yourself.

DO NOT POWERSTALL THE ENGINE MORE THAT THIRTY SECONDS AT A TIME AND NO MORE THAN TWICE. IT WILL GET VERY HOT VERY QUICKLY.

DO NOT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE RIGHT AFTER POWERSTALLING. THERE IS TO MUCH HEAT AND COULD CAUSE DAMAGE. LET THE ENGINE IDLE FOR THREE MINUTES AND IT WILL BE FINE.


I hope this helps

What, other than plugs, wires , cap and rotor would be causing loss of power on acceleration, but not all the time,, intermittently.

There is a vacuum advance attached to the distributor. Inside the vacuum advance is a rubber diaphragm that can crack from age an no longer work. Sometimes the vacuum hose that attaches to it may not be getting proper vacuum. This device adjusts your timing when you accelerate. Improper function could cause the problems you describe. Also, a vacuum leak in any of your vacuum system could cause the problem your describing. Too much air intake on take off from a faulty vacuum system could throw off your air fuel mixture on acceleration causing hesitation until the air fuel mixture can catch up which is when the power comes back. Hope this helps.

It is running too rich burning too much gas

if you look at the reverse of the fuel pump you will see a 13mm nut holiding a 10mm bolt. undo the 13mm lock nut and turn the 10mm in or out to adjust the mixture, this is easy as you can run the engine with the adjuster lose so you can high rev it and adjust all the black smoke away. dont go too far or your power loss will be devastating, you need to listen to your engine and look for smoke at the same time. i always leave a little black smoke at the high end of the revs this will give you enough power but wont black out the street.

98 gmc jimmy smokes real bad and burns lots of gas

The smoke is probably a black smoke from burning excessive fuel. That fuel injection system has seperate plastic runners going to each cylinder inside the intake manifold, I think it was nick-named the spider, they go bad and need to be replaced. Problem could also be the fuel pressure regulator, I think it's also under the intake manifold. The bottom line is that you have to remove the intake and look for your problem.

2001 E220 CDI exhaust tail pipe black smoke on acceleration

Black smoke is almost always an indication that the air/ fuel mix (ratio), is too rich. I would try to find out if the just cleaned the injectors or were they replaced. Cleaning injectors and sometimes leave irregularly shaped orifices. Besure the air filter is clean. This can effect mix also.
Good Luck and hope this helps.
