Default My car is blowing dark black smoke from my muffler.

I been having problems with my car, i seen int he past month or 2 that my car has been blowing dark smoke and my car seems to have slow take offs. And slow at long run in the past i had nitrus. Is this why car got slow because ever since i had nitrus its been blowing that dark smock i checked the spark plug and it was all messed up so i replaced it but no improvements. please help i have a civic SI 2000 with basic bolt on's.

make sure ur at the back of the cruise so u dont get black smoke all over everyone else

anyways watch for fried rings if ur block goes
when i was in ur situation and i did ls/vtec after.. my head was fine.

but as everyone has said check ur timing, plugs, jets.

i had a zex kit, zex plugs, stock timing, and 55shot jets when mine shitted on me.. it was never tuned on me

what jets are u using? ur timing should be stock if ur using 50/55 shot

and im 99% sure its nothing wrong with ur head, cuz my head was a'ok when it went onto my ls block. so a p&p will not fix ur problem

well why dont you take your engine apart then and look? It seems like your pretty set on it being something inside ur engine (which it could be). We told you what u need to do, if you think its something in the engine take it apart and fix it.

You keep askin the same question over and over and every answer you get you shoot down and say "i think its something inside my engine". WELL THEN take it apart and find out, there is that the answer you were lookin for?
