Did you sell it, or trade it in on something?

a sucker is born everyday, thusly, i bought the car. What was ever determined about the black smoke? Boost leak? Oil? I plan on giving it the once over tonight, just wondering what I should be looking for. History from someone that isn't "trying to sell the car" (i.e. maybe not being entirely truthful) would be useful.

Black smoke is a rich condition.

Interpret he isnt totally happy with the car. . .will look over it tonight to figure out the root cause of the smocking. Thats what i got out of it. About the truthful part i think he means he will expose all its flaws and kinks that weren't portrait in the for sale add. Correct me if im wrong.

My bet would be the valve guides leaking oil.

That would be blue smoke, not black.

I don't really get the point of this. A used car is a used car, talk to the buyer if you're not happy. Were you expecting a certified Lexus for $4000?

[mikefromMN]

No CEL. Looks like a few silicon elbows are in order, tightened a few hose-clamps up. I still need to fashion a ghetto boost leak tester. I might try playing with the MAFT, but first I need to get the AFR Gauges that were previously working connected again... it does smell rich. And no, it has nothing to do with "exposing flaws" or anything, but I'd like to get the car running right, and it seemed like a few site members have a little history with the car. No offense to the seller or anything, I mean, it's not like I bought it site unseen.

I have a tester if you would like to borrow it. Or need some help fabing one.
