    Carbon build up/ black exhaust

    I'm not going to argue with this, just state where I'm coming from. I do not believe the KS sensor was a bad purchase. I do see how just replacing random parts won't get me anywhere. I will start looking into the fuel pressure. And, not arguing, but my engine did indeed stay running while the...

    Carbon build up/ black exhaust

    I got a new knock sensor in today and installed it. At first it ran good still a little smokey, so I took it to get gas.started it again and it would idle for a second then die. So I get it home and go through what could be wrong. Still gives a code 51. We unplugged the fuel pump relay and the...

    Carbon build up/ black exhaust

    So I guess I only have one knock sensor? I can only find one KS on my block. Here's a picture from back when the rebuild was done unless I'm missing something I only have one KS. But I thought 7m's are supposed to have 2? Somewhere around the starter. I don't mind only re-wiring one hahah, I'm...

    Carbon build up/ black exhaust

    I got the new sensor in today I just installed it and the car runs the same as expected. So I got under the car and unplugged the KS. Engine still ran the same smoke and everything. So I know for sure it's the wire.

    Carbon build up/ black exhaust

    Here is a picture of the intake as you asked although it doesnt look like anything has been tampered with And the air canister is partially melted because the previous owner drove the car with a BHG.

    Carbon build up/ black exhaust

    Air flow meter? I'm sorry but is that just the whole stock air intake? Ill have to take a picture tomorrow anyways. As far as what y'all are saying about the injectors being stuck open or just malfunctioning in general makes a lot of sense. When I drove it, it only took 60 miles to go through...

    7mge bhg?

    ^i agree. Unless you smell antifreeze in your exhaust I would think its bad gasoline. But it was running fine up to the rev? That's weird

    Carbon build up/ black exhaust

    Just a N/A 7m. Got my car running again after it sat for 7 months. replaced the fuel injector seals and the system has had new gasoline cycled through it. My problem is the car has a rough idle at 800 rpm and, as the title says, the exhaust is black. Also it would backfire every once in a while...
