Re: smoking on start and acceleration

awesome guys very good info. I think I'd rather offer him a bit less now and skip the mechanics opinion on the pump and smoking.

now that I know a little more about them from my reading etc. I would rather put that money into some preventative maintenance.

Re: smoking on start and acceleration

yes they seem very simple, especially compared to what I am use to doing and that is rebuilding SAABs, supra's Audi's, BMW's that you have to go through the alphabet twice when labeling stuff to pull the engine!!! from what I know the pump can be adjusted by just tweaking it, driving it around the b...

Re: smoking on start and acceleration

again thank you for the response, He did say that the injectors and egr were replace in Japan but really... maybe they just tired to clean the egr and appreantly that does not work so well.

Re: smoking on start and acceleration

hey great idea and thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Do you have any comment on black smoke on acceleration? Normal? pump timing? It feels like it has lots of power but I don't have another one to compare it to. I will have to really look at these suggestions because it gets cold here and I want...

smoking on start and acceleration
