Black Exhaust Smoke In Rx300 by Etoo: 5:21pm On Jun 08, 2016
Good evening guys.

Pls I have this issue of my car bringing out black exhaust smoke after start up and whenever the throttle is matched on.

This is giving me a big concern considering the fact its a recently purchased vehicle and no "check engine" light is showing for me to diagonise it.

Kindly help me in your suggestions on how to rectify this.

that there is no check engine light, Does not mean there is no code. Bulb might have been deleted, or connected to give a false impression that there is no error.

Your car is consuming fuel excessively and this can be due to a number of reasons. Does your check light come on before you start your engine? i.e when instrument cluster lights come on.

@Gazzuzz, the check engine light comes up when im starting the engine. So i think the bulb is still intact.
Im just confused on that.

Yes it comes on before i start the engine, then disappears afterwards.

That is weird. I suggest you observe the car for a while.

It is never too late to report at a veritable garage to have the defect amended. Oh yes I could enumerate a couple of possible causes but yet someone has to get down to it practically.

OP TAKE your car to a proper garage that has diagnostic equipment. There are too many things that could cause Black smoke, including a faulty Engine Ecu.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
Pls since the check engine light is not showing at the moment, is it advisable for me to buy an injector cleaner and add to my fuel to know whether the injector will be cleaned. Is there any risk to that?
If not, how many liters of petrol will be adequate for 250ml injector cleaner?
Thank you guys.

Sir, like Gazzuzz advised, get to any good garage nearest to you and have a thorough diagnosis before you mess up your new car. Where are you based?

My RX300 has a similar problem,i have changed 3 airflow meters all to no avail.My car drinks fuel like water.After purchase,delivery and first servicing,it was found that the CATALYST POTs were removed,could the smoke be from there?

a friend of mine had same situation 2 weeks after he took delivery of his 2006 sienna. Very black smoke, couldn't fire well, guzzled fuel. Scan showed mass airflow sensor as culprit. But all the mafs brought didn't work. At the end of the day it was a multimeter I used and discovered there was no power to the maf. We found a blown fuse, replaced at the cost of 50naira. That was just the solution. So scan and check your fuses.

You ecu is probably getting a corrupt data from a faulty sensor .Get a scanner and run a data stream to identify the faulty sensor.
If you have a scanner ,call my number @signature ,I will put you through to identify the culprit.

Hi, I just finished from the mechanic, its not an oil sludge. The electrician said since no engine light is showing, there is no need for the diagnostics. The black smoke still comes out on higher acceleration and the fuel is highly affected.

I dont know whether the injector can be the culprit. A mechanic was telling of 2 sensors near the injector that possible could be causing it. Is there any other possibility I could check pending when the check-engine light surfaces?
Re: Black Exhaust Smoke In Rx300 by Nobody: 3:49pm On Jun 13, 2016
If you can get a new ECU to test your car with, I think that's better.
