Is It Normal to See Black Smoke When Accelerating Hard?
1 Answers
This is not a normal phenomenon. If black smoke appears when the engine is cold, check for any damage or air leaks in the air intake system, then inspect the fuel injectors for dripping and ensure the seals are intact. If black smoke persists after the engine warms up, examine the fuel injection volume, injection pressure, and the data or waveform from the front oxygen sensor to determine if its correction function is working properly. Also, check the condition of the catalytic converter and the coolant sensor. Methods to address black smoke when accelerating hard: 1. Overly rich air-fuel mixture: Inspect whether the oxygen sensor has failed. If the oxygen sensor fails, the vehicle loses its ability to automatically adjust the fuel injection volume, making black smoke more likely when accelerating hard. 2. Excessive fuel impurities: If low-quality fuel is used, it can produce many impurities after combustion. 3. Degraded or failed spark plugs: Spark plugs are responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture. If they are worn out, they may fail to effectively ignite the gasoline, leading to incomplete combustion. In such cases, replacing the spark plugs is the only solution.
