hey all

just replaced my exhaust manifold gasket, put it back together and now the thing wont idle and is producing a crap load of black smoke. the thing is last nite after it was all back together i started it up and it ran fine, but when came to moving it this morn it wont run. i also had a flat battery this morn so when trying to kick it over could it of damaged the ecu in any way?

ive pulled all the pipes off again checking if they were restricted but they were clear. do airflow sensors just pack it in? as this is the only other thing i can think of.

any help would be much appreciated

Is it black, or grey? Where is it coming from: exhaust tip or engine bay?

When I replaced the exahust manifold, turbo-to-dump, turbo-to-manfold, and dump-to-front gaskets my R32 GT-R was pumping grey smoke like something was on fire :P After about 30 minutes of idleing, the gaskets finally started to seal and the smoke disappeared.

The idle was a bit high, but was fine otherwise. I had to replace my sparkies the next day as they became fouled, I assume from a combination of (normally) rich running plus screwed A/F ratios due to the exhaust leak, and the 30 minutes it took for things to seal up.

Black smoke and not running probably means you didn't connect up a cooler pipe properly when putting everything back together.

AFM sees lots of air so gives the engine lots of fuel. Engine sees little air so pumps the fuel out the back in the form of black smoke and backfires until it floods and stalls.

cheers for all the replies. its all sweet now though. went through and reconnected everything( intercooler pipes, pod assembly) and the thing was still running rough, but after a bout an hour of trying it started, ran rough for bout a min then just kicked in, although it has a bit of a miss now though. time for a full tune me thinks.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
