toyotatom Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Hi Guys, Went out for a mid-afternoon burn in the motor down the A2, all fine. Filled up with Esso Supreme, all fine. Drove about two miles to girlfriends house, pulled into her close and it stalled and died, not fine. I managed to limp the car home but its now emitting a small but clearly visible amount of black smoke, strong smell of petrol, and runs lumpier than school custard. Oil level fine, and no hoses come off or anything, but it sounds very strained as it struggles to run. Idle drops to about 400. Any suggestions as to whats wrong most appreciated.

Jake Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Mine was like that when the small hose to the boost gauge had come off the Y piece at the inlet manifold end. It was a small amount of really sooty black smoke and rough idling. Worth double checking anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatom Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Cheers Jake, Will check that tommorrow when the light returns. Had the obligatory quick shoofty over all the obvious bits and couldnt see any sign of anything out of place but will check again as you say.

Supra ST Myster Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 i was going to say the same thing, as mine also did that when the vacum hose came off the boost gauge after WOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
