Default Need help: Some kind of dark liquid comming out from my exhaust?

Every time I warm up the car, I see some kind of dark liquid comming out of my muffler. This happened a few weeks ago and I thought it would go away but it didn't.


Has anybody had this kind of problem?

if your exhaust has water vapor in it, it actually means that your air fuel mixture is perfect, a good thing

If it was like me and making my driveway jet black then NO it is not normal and you are running rich.

Nothing beats our race car we have. Our injectors at 4000rpms were around 57% cycle duty, then we put 500cc injectors and it would just flood the **** out of the car when we put them in. Car wouldn't keep an idle, we would flood her to death. We had to rev her to **** and we covered my moms car is the **** coming out. Heck, we drove around like that for a few minutes around the block. at 7800rpm we had our old injectors are 107% cycle duty and the motor would almost die at that point. We get her to 9500rpm and it was gutless. Next day we got her tuned and turned out 218whp out of a stock bore/stroke 1.8L.

But if you are stock, water with carbon deposit. Normal stuff when it gets cold. Normally it's just water vapor during the summer but winter it can be water.
