lucifer_1_child Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i have an 88 dl 1.8 i was recently on a road trip just replaced my timing belts and i noticed that when i shift at high rpm a lttle black smoke shoots out the pipe doesnt happen all the time just on the long drive seems fine now second mystery it a little stall deal . i was driving and my car was losing a little power i was going 85 then to 55 rather fast i put it in neutral reved then back in gear and it started to sputter like a fouled plug and after a minute it was back to normal i was guessing maybe water in my gas line? or maybe in the intake?

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Is it Carbed? if so, it´s the Carb, almost or Sure. Try clean it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffast Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 what rpm were you at when it started sputtering i guarentee you it wasn't valve float Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Even the carbed block EA82's will not float the valves till over 7,000 RPM. The SPFI engines were even higher - they had a 6500 RPM redline, while the older carbs were 6,000. You would have to hit around 8,000 or higher to float the SPFI valve springs. What you hit (if anything) was the rev limiter in the ECU. It retards the timing automatically as a safeguard. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_Mechanic Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 and the smoke was probley ur emissions actin up if it backfired at all it coulda sent oil to ur intake. i dont know for sure but thats my best guess. and the bog... put some injector cleaner in ur tank and check ur scu with a comp. set it for "best" performance. like GD said the ecu might be actin like a governer.
