Thoughts?

[V8 GRF]

Running a tad rich I'd say. My exhaust was like that when I needed a new cam.

Your steps need replacing

[Discopotatoes]

Problem is the car is facing the wrong way

Afm unplugged

[wuckfitracing]

Err is it ,the dumbell weights on the floor look unused.

[JohnC35]

Everything plugged in as it should be.

Smells rich with roof off under acceleration, been told it emits some black smoke on dtive but you cant see it in the mirrors.

Going to check lambda connections and test ecu temp sensor and afm, any other suggestions?

Thanks

Those tail pipes look shiny

Looks like the Mrs isn't getting that new kitchen worktop.

Temp sender ( ecu )

They do that when cold, but that's way too much.

Condensation in the pipes

[JohnC35]

Slightly dissapointed that nobody has spotted the cardinal sin of leaving a microfibre cloth on a dirty surface....

Will check the ecu sensor in the morning and update

Thanks all

The car has been stood for a few years but I hsve niw done 400 mikes in it, some long stsges of full throttle, the condesation would hsve stopped by now surely?

Diarrhoea, or it might be the heaves...

Why are there 2 spots of blackness? I can understand the spot directly behind the pipe but what's with the other spot above it?

Have you had the car jacked up or do you chew tobacco and spit alot?

Isn't it just the car complaining because you have silencer inserts in?

[Trevor450]

Mine did that and I needed a full engine rebuild. Head gasket was the primary cause as well as running too rich.
