back again with more problems :(

[Scrusy]

So last time i had this problem of backfiring low revs and black smoke. This happened about 2 months ago and i changed the CAS, fuel filter, fuel pump, reset computer, changed plugs and leads, compression tested, done the timing set to 16degrees, oil filter and oil, dizzy.

And its all started again. Lows revs sitting on about 3000-400rpms blowing black smoke. When i turn the car on it sounds like a ticky injector. Could this be my problem. It stops tickibg after about 30secs of running. This all started yesterday morning

look for an unsupported section of rubber fuel hose that may be kinking almost shut when heated by warm air coming back from engine, then unkinking when allowed to cool down

black smoke is usually running rich.
complete fuel pressure test to rule out dud regulator and or leaking injectors.

And the ticking will be noisy lifters till the oil pumps up and shuts them up.
Constant ticking is your injectors and is normal

Check the connection at the MAF, I've had them have a dodgy connection and it would do this intermittently. Also, make sure the clamps are tight at the MAF and the intake pipe isn't sucking air. (Other than from where it should be of course)

Problem solved. It was as simple as taking the plug off the afm and putting it back on. Was giving the VL a hard time the day before. Id say it got a few jolts everytime in got put into the next gear lol

Before my car broke down, it would idle like crap, and I'd pull lightly on the AFM plug (not hard enough to pull it off) and the idle would pick up and go back to normal, then I'd let go and it would run like **** again. Stupid car lol

That's a common issue with the VL.
