Car catching fire and emitting black smoke may be caused by damaged valve oil seals or a faulty cylinder head gasket. Here are other possible scenarios: 1. White smoke: White smoke indicates that the engine is burning coolant, which could be due to a damaged cylinder head gasket. 2. Black smoke: Black smoke suggests poor combustion in the engine, likely caused by an imbalance between air intake and fuel injection, leading to incomplete gasoline combustion and black smoke emission. 3. Blue smoke: Blue smoke may indicate that the engine is burning oil. Possible causes include damaged valve oil seals or a faulty cylinder head gasket.
