so I start my truck yesterday and it belched out black smoke from the tailpipe... kind of like a diesel. It was a little disturbing, I haven't noticed it before but I have been smelling fuel from the exhaust for a couple of months. What would be causing this? Major problem or not? Hey, maybe that's why I'm filling up every 3 days <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

could be a leaking injectore, get a fuel pressure tester adn that will let you know.

If your first morning start doesn't kick over right away, chances are that the fuel injectors might be leaking as mentioned.

Also pull your oil dipstick and give it a whiff; if it smells like gas, you've likely found your answer. This is a similar problem for the carbie folks when things start wearing out.

RC engineering and Witchhunter are a couple places where you can send off your injectors to be refurbished.

you know what... that actually makes a lot of sense now. if left over a few hours it actually starts like crap, idles at around 300rpm for a second then gradually goes up to @ 750. If I go into a store for a few minutes it'll start right up like it should.

has anyone in canada sent their injectors out? Where would be a good place in this country? I just don't want to deal with cross border and customs and shipping to the states. thanks
