Thread: V8 & Black Smoke

Check your Temp sensors. If faulty they could be signaling the ECU that the engine is cold and enriching the mixture.
Also Check the MAF.

Thanks Rovernaut

Have you any idea what readings I should get hot/cold?

Temp sensor I understand but what is & how do I test a MAF?

Hi Rovernaut
What most people dont realise is that with an EFI vehicle on LPG is that the petrol injectors are runing all the time,because there is no way of convincing the computer to turn them off because they arent needed,so they are operating open/shut squirting fuel as they are designed to,but they are running dry.If you normally only use LPG and petrol when you "run out" in an EFI,the injectors can seize due to lack of lubricant.Yours could probably stuck open or be sticky so they are overfueling.If you have a mate with a similar vehicle swap the injectors over.If the problem swaps vehicles there is your problem,otherwise its a trip to a specialist.
