I have a 94 shevy cav z24 with 136000 miles. their is black smoke spitting
out of the tail pipe and leaving black specks on the back bumper could this be some sort of exuast issue, like a resinator or cat converter issue or is it what i think rings? |

Black smoke usually gets read as "godawful rich". Look to your injectors first, I would think. Oil burning (like you'd get with rings) is usually blue. I can't think of anything in the exhaust system that could cause black smoke. -- Don Bruder - - If your "From:" address isn't on my whitelist, or the subject of the message doesn't contain the exact text "PopperAndShadow" somewhere, any message sent to this address will go in the garbage without my ever knowing it arrived.

if injectors is that costly?
would a diagnostic test know what is wrong if there is no service light on
saying that something is wrong? I am trying to figure out if this car is going to be going to heaven or not! |

Pull the vac hose off of the pressure regulator and see if there is gas. More than likely the cat has already melted down. I don't think your car is going to heaven - probably the other place instead. |

Indicative of stuck choke on carbureted cars, leaky injector or other injector problems on FI car. |
