Black smoke is an indication of too much fuel being delivered and the engine is essentially "flloding" itself.
Most likely a mass air flow sensor or throttle body issue. Try cleaning the body first.
ps
White smoke is a head gasket
Blue smoke is piston rings.

You have the cheapest smoke issue to fix.

SOURCE: Black smoke coming out of exhaust, only on

Your engine is running "too rich" meaning more gas is going into the chamber than is supposed to. If it is a late model, to need to see your mechanic. FYI , blue smoke is oil, black too much gas, white, antifreeze, (really bad).

SOURCE: black smoke from exhaust

This is almost certainly a split hose - mine was the large hose coming out of the bottom of the EGR valve.

Speaking to a parts guy at my local Jaguar dealer, he said that the new part is uprated as Jaguar are aware that this is a problem.

The split allows more air in and results in the ECU changing the mixture and over fuelling - Black smoke is an indication of un-burnt Diesel. As well as the black smoke you may also notice a whistle/whine or sucking noise when you accelerate and a lack of power / lumpiness at around 2000rpm.

Hope that helps!

78 cj7 has loss of power and white smoke coming out of the exhaust.

Looks fun. If you have smoke coming from the exhaust it could be one of three problems. First, if it is black smoke that would indicate too much fuel. Possible cause-carburetor. Second, if the smoke is white possible cause is water or coolant in the system. Possible head gaskets . Third, if blue smoke,excessive oil usage.

Black smoke coming exhaust

Too much fuel is the usual problem.
One of the injectors may be stuck open, or some other fuel leak into the engine.

Black smoke coming from exhaust pipe

black smoke is coming from exhaust possible causes--- excess fuel enters cylinders and does not burn completely. poor fuel milage is also a common complaint, when black smoke comes out tailpipe its running to rich!! This can be caused by anything from a computer malfunction to a leaking fuel injector. A possible fix would possibly be a tune up or carburetor/fuel injection work. run some good injector cleaner in it, it may fix the problem. but if not check it out further. good-day !!
