Tail pipe black soot V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be bl on  Mon Mar 21 11:45 CST 2005 [RELATED]

White fog is water vapor, normal on startup especially in winter. Sooty tail pipe = a "rich" condition. Is your mpg down? SOme causes: failing O2 sensors, vacuum leaks, bad ECT coolant temp. sensor (engine thinks it's stone cold all the time), worn plugs, wires etc to name a few.
