Dinglehoser Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 My car leaves so much black soot on the inside of the tailpipe that I can clean it out, drive to the beach and back, and the layer of black nastiness is already there. Water coming out of the tailpipe deposits some of the soot on the bottom outside part of the tip, as well. It looks really nasty. I was conditioned to understand that gray deposit = good, and black soot = fuel mixture way too rich. What gives? I'm running AP Stage 1, if it makes a difference. Is everyone else's tailpipe looking as nasty as mine? I also have all the other things people complain about as well, including shaky idle, obnoxious stutter between 2k and 3.5k, rattly interior panels and seat belts, clunk when turning sharply, broccoli-water clutch smell, and nasty wet beer fart smell going up hills and accelerating.
