Stalling/ black smoke

4519 Views 10 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  T5 for Life
Today while accelerating car jerked and stalled. While trying to restart engine ran rough and eventually stalled. Also noticed a black smoke coming from the exhaust. I got home after disconnecting MAF sensor and "limping" all the way.
Cleaning MAF did not help. No codes.
Any ideas?

Running rich...

Any mods to the car?

That is definitely excess fuel burning. No codes either?

Ooops sorry din't see the no codes part! not even a CEL ?
Re: Stalling/ black smoke (crimnlmnded)

CEL was on as well as the code P0107, I think. I checked it and it was related to MAF sensor. I thought that it was from me driving with MAF sensor disconnected. So I cleared the code and cleaned the sensor.
But the car still stalls soon after starting as soon as RPM go down. After a few tries I connected the OBD scanner and found out that there were no codes.
The car would still start and run without MAF connected.

I had an issue with my fuel rail sensor that would make the car stall and threw a CEL as well as black smoke from exhaust I don't know may be worth a shot. weird , god luck and let us know what happens.
Re: Stalling/ black smoke (crimnlmnded)

sounds like you had a intercooler hose blow off

Dan long time pal how've you been? coming to the GTG sunday, sorry to jack thread..
wouldn't the car not go though with blown intercooler hose? just curious. And the black smoke from the exhaust?

And the culprit was disconnected air supply pipe to the throttle body (sorry don't know the proper name). http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

Whew. Good catch. And congrats on not having to dissect the fuel system to find the cause.
