Hi all, this has been my little retirement project here and there when things are slow. So recently I had done a lot of tune up stuff, replaced everything that could have ever pointed to a terrible rough idle, including idle air control valve, MAP sensor, pressure regulator and so on. So I replaced the fuel injectors and that finally fixed the rough idle issue and hard starting issue.
The problem now is that it has black smoke coming out the exhaust, especially a lot when the gas pedal is pressed, and it never did before. It is timed right; I have checked it by removing the SPOUT it shows correct with the timing light.
I have no clue as what to do now and was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction. I have a video on my phone of the engine idling and what comes out the exhaust when gas is pressed but don't know how to make that available for viewing.
