Re: Black Carbon In My Car Exhaust by ALAKANNI(m): 2:47pm On Jul 30, 2010 |
Your car is 'drinking' fuel. i.e. excess fuel is getting to your injector, more than it should take normally. The excess fuel is now burning out and that is what you are seeing as black carbon. See your auto technician. Cheers!!!! |

if what ALAKANNI is analyzing is correct, have them check ur brain box. 1 Like |

Why not save your time and scan the car to know what exactly the problem is. Avoid your Mechanic and Rewire guessing game. After the scan, you will know exactly what is responsible for the excessive fuel consumption as the case may be. Best Regards |

Easier for any of u to jump at me but say wateva u like: time will tell, except the poster didnt come back to post the result of his findings. Allow them to finger ur engine up and u might end up changing it. |

Appreciate ur call yestaday, as u insisted that u wanted 2 knw d location of ur car fuel filter, d answer wc i wasnt comfortable given out basically because of these ur mechanic that will turn d thing around 4 u, d filter is simply located directly with ur fuel pump, it looks like divers swimming footwears whitish in colour and ur fuel pump is in ur fuel tank, and they only wash it with water and if u want 2 replace it u will have 2 buy it along with fuel pump, av a good day. |

Don't touch nothing, all you need is a fuel injector cleaner to clean up the nozzle(fine spray).Add to your fuel tank |

@austinike If you give a Hausa man a medicine to cure an ailment, he'll ask you if you've suffered from that ailment in the past and if you got well after taking the medicine you just prescribed to him. If you answer in the affirmative, then, he accepts your prescription. I will share my experience with you. I had the same problem with my Toyota Camry (thin/tiny light) - V6 engine. It burnt my fuel like fuel burning was getting out of fashion. The resultant smoke from the exhaust was coal black and was a source of great embarrassment (picture yourself driving a car like this in VI, whereupon revving your engine, the atmosphere changes to black – no thanks to your car). It got so bad that coagulated smoke (in solid form) came out of my exhaust pot. What did I do? From the time this problem began, my mechanic checked and did a lot of servicing work (with each visit costing some money). I later concluded that it was time for me to visit another mechanic. The second person used a scanner. The scanner told him IAT (Intake Air Temperature) Circuit Malfunction. He went ahead to change something in the bonnet which he called the heat sensor. When he brought it out, he showed me that it was broken (I confirmed it was broken, hence, I gave him money to change it). End result – inordinate fuel burning/black smoking continued. After this, I scanned the car elsewhere. The result was still IAT Circuit Malfunction. At this juncture, I was asked to change my air flow meter. This done, the problem continued. On recommendation, I took it to a more reputable mechanic who did a comprehensive servicing work (to include injector nozzles clean-up). Result was the same and I fed him back with the result. Later, he called me to say that I would need to change my car’s ECM (a.k.a. brain box). To cut a long story short. The very minute this was done (by a rewire), the smoke stopped. It was as if it was the rewire that put the problem there. Needless to say that before this problem was solved; I spent a lot of money… changing my airflow meter thrice, changing a HEAT sensor, paying for servicing more frequently than was required, and through all these, putting up with artisans’ intricate web of lies. I took the pain to explain the foregoing because I felt your pain. If there was somebody to advise me based on personal experience, I’d have saved a lot of money, time, energy and prestige (less embarrassment). Now my advice: get your car scanned. If the result is IAT Circuit Malfunction (error code P0110), then replace your airflow meter. If this doesn’t work, it just might be that the part of your car’s ECM responsible for regulating the meter is faulty. Then change the ECM. If you require my assistance, I can give you the phone number of the rewire that did the ECM change out for me (he’s at Ladipo auto parts market). If you want this, just drop your number on this thread and I’ll get back to you, insha Allah. The link below leads you to a detailed explanation of error code P0110. http://www.parksoffroad.com/tacomamods/maintitems/enginecode/cip0110.pdf I wish you well. 3 Likes |

Re: Black Carbon In My Car Exhaust by seal777(m): 11:50am On Sep 04, 2010 |
@igbanbajo, i thank you so much for your submission cos when i made the statement about the BRAIN BOX, u saw the comments made by other posters. Sometimes when u sum up ur experience to give candid and fair advice to people in need, they tend to overlook it until they fall in the hands of those who will either request them to bring their car to the workshop for a fee or various lies to make them habitual faces in the mechanic workshop. The owner of a Toyota Camry 99 V6 sold it to me barely a year of buying it ( out of which he hardly drives it cos of the smoke and fuel consumption) cos of this same problem, i fixed it by changing the brain box without trials cos i was aware before i bought the car and if i had offered to help him solve the problem, he wouldn't agree cos of the lies of various mechanic he has consulted. I am not an auto engineer but i make research, i am proud to say that i have helped more than 4 nairalanders to solve the same problem, two of which we have had the opportunity to wine and dine at a joint there after with no kobo charged, neither did i suggest where to buy the brain box or a rewire to fix it for them. No one is an island when it comes to knowledge, some learn from experience, some from training and some by research. I reserve further comments till, 5 Likes |

Re: Black Carbon In My Car Exhaust by octar6: 10:58pm On Oct 14, 2010 |
@ poster, I am 1 of the N/landers seal 777 was talking about. I had a smiliar problem wif my toyota camry 1998 model(tiny light).It was seal777.onwan and sienna's advice i took. They all said I should get a rewire or change my brain box.And I bought a new brain box and boom,the problem was solved.Mean while I had changed my air flow meter 2wice,changed fuel filter and other components. NOTE:most of these so called machanics cant use these scanners very well. Cheers bro |

chelseabmw: This is so uncharitable, I wish you didn't say that. It's people like you that make others run away from N/land. I enjoy helping people in trouble out of their predicaments which was the reason I shared my experience with N/landers in the first place. Think of the time it took me to write all that I did. Let's conduct ourselves with utmost decorum. Thanks for not raining abuses/curses as a response to this post. 5 Likes |

Pls, take the car for scanning. by the way, how much does it cost to conduct a standard car scan. also, what is the cost range of brain box?. |

Re: Black Carbon In My Car Exhaust by Trac: 9:10pm On Apr 16, 2011 |
seal777: Hmn, the ECU when the vehicle is dumping fuel with inadequate air?! There are better conclusions that are wrong than this. Air/Fuel Ratio is off, fuel pressure modulator and some vehicles as this, O2 sensor. If you bought a hot-rodded Honda with compressors, you are most likely to experience this when the compressors go out or the setup went wrong somewhere. It is never the ECU. |

Am avin d feelings that I also have such issues, mine is that the fuel gauge goes down easily to yellow light but I still drive like about 63 or more km when it shows the fuel yellow light. When engine is idling or driving you won't see or notice black smoke on cabon coming out from exhaust but if you dip your finger inside the exhaust you will bring out black carbon from the exhaust. Please what can I do cause am so confused if it's consuming or not |
Re: Black Carbon In My Car Exhaust by Donjuan77: 5:05pm On Oct 04, 2022 |
Please someone should help say something about mine |

Re: Black Carbon In My Car Exhaust by MomentoMori: 11:34am On Oct 13, 2022 |
Donjuan77: Have you been able to resolve this? if yes, how? I am experiencing same problem. I scanned, it gave the 02 Sensor 1 and 2. I have changed them. No check engine sign on the dash board again, however, the fuel consumption is till the same, if you dip your finger inside the exhaust pipe, you will bring out thick black carbon. I need help, please!! |
