My truck has been idling bad for a few days now. Smells really funky, had to explain. Almost like a chainsaw type smell. Anyway, I noticed the wall and floor behind the truck where the tailpipe is is covered with black water and the inside of the tailpipe is wet and jet black. Any thoughts? Are these issues related?

 

Yeah I think that you need to give me your Whipple to see if it is the problem........
that would be sweet

Hey are you going tonight? It may be real busy, but you should still come and hang out if you don't want to race it.

 

what plugs you running? the water that comes out of my exhaust is clear....might be burnin some oil, hense the plugs crapping out and bad idle, and smellin like a 2 stroke (buring oil with the gas)...i would check the dipstick!

 

water is normal cause whenever you burn something it makes water vapor. maybe its black and smells bad cause of clogged up cats? or you could be burning oil i guess too.

 

burning oil=what?

 

does the truck smoke at all?

 

check your oil and see if your low, like 1 to 1-1/2 quart low if so you may have internal bleading. Have you changed your springs cam etc. since this started?

 

no smoke other than some "normal" exhaust smoke sometimes on cold starts. I did just put my stock TB back on. I wonder if it's just not calibrated right? hmmmm. supposed to go to DezRacing in 2 weeks for a full tune.

 

Your catalytic converters make the water, thats normal. Your TB switch is whats messing up your idle.

 

the black sut that you are experienceing is burning a little rich maybe. mine did it all the time. i never worried about that. i would try to clean the maf-all 02's and then go from there.
