fredley Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I have an intermittent problem with my '94 2.2 Turbo. Sometimes, while accelerating, it will dog and blow a puff of black smoke out the exhaust. I'm thinking that maybe it's loading up on gas at this moment in time. Due to the intermittent nature of the problem, I don't want to take it in for service. I've seen times in the past when I've spent money on "best guesses" only to face the same problem again with less money in my checkbook. So how about it, any good guesses for things that I can check or do myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hklaine Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 My '88 was doing this. I can't remember if it was the PCV or EGR replacement that corrected it though... -Heikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 possibly sticking recirc valve. I'd suggest asking over at www.bbs.legacycentral.org a lot more t-legacy owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindingForester Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 That sounds like an EGR problem. It seems to be definitely a problem of too rich a mixture under high vacuum conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredley Posted May 29, 2004 Author Share Posted May 29, 2004 Thanks for the help, guys. Legacy777 - I'm on my way over to the board that you suggested. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
