So this is the story..

I was taking off at the lights and getting my car up to 3-4k revs when it suddenly spiked to around 6k, then had a shuddering noise and dropped to below 1k. It started shaking and shuddering and not willing to rev above the 1.5k mark...
I didn't realise until my friend told me that a lot of black smoke was also coming out of my exhaust when I was trying to rev it back up to par.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I was hoping for some info off you guys before I tow it to the mechanics on Monday. Instinct tells me that there might be a problem with injectors or afm.. oh and I'm running a stock computer.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

William

check that one of your cooler hoses hasnt poped off or leaks.

Yeah my vote is also on the cooler hoses. Has happened to me a few times now, first time freaked me out until i realized a pipe popped out of the joiner, best check that before possibly wasting the money for a mech to pick up the problem

afm plug faulty?

also, you running a front mount? even a small crack can cause this, im still with the other guys actually, even thow ur plumbing is all tight it could still be a small split in a cooler hose you cant see or even a clamp thats mashed you prolly would have noticed that but...

thanks for the opinion guys..much appreciated.

does a cracked pipe also cause the excess black smoke to come out of the exhaust?
