ok guys the other day i was driving and my friend in his 240 was behind me so i decided to get on it for a lil so than when we stoped my friend told me that my car threw out a lil black smoke from the exhuast he said i might be cause of it not broken in yet my car has about 600 miles on it right now is that normal or is there sumthing wrong

 

Just a puff? It's normal. A stream of black smoke? Take it to the dealer. Your engine runs on Air/Fuel ratios unlike 99% of the cars on the road today and a little puff is OK. You'll also find a little black residue at the exhaust outlet. Perfectly normal. Enjoy the car

 

thanks yea he said it was just a lil so he said i had nothing to worry about but i just wanted some input from people on here

 

Maybe the car is running rich.

 

dang even if the car is brand new

 

It's direct injected, like a diesel, so it smokes a bit. No worries.

 

Black smoke is normal. Trust me. You're okay.

 

thanks everybody

 

ok everyone is like white smoke is bad, black smoke is bad, gray smoke is bad, what the heck color of smoke is good? clear? non? pink? in winter my smoke always looks grayish white, on every car iv ever seen.

 

your good don't worry about it. lol, white smoke with a sweet smell is antifreeze in your fuel (one way or the other), black (your running rich, alot of possible culprits) gray, (idk normal?). If your car runs good I wouldn't worry about it. but, reading the above it sounds fairly normal.

 

Dude just have fun with the car I bet he only said that because I bet your faster then him

 

lol yea probly

 

a little black smoke is ok.....

white smoke - usually means antifreeze(if you can smell it) or condensation from it being cold. or if theres water pissing out of it along with white smoke thats not a good sign either.

whitish/blueish smoke - burning oil
