Hi guys,

was trying a diffrent ebc on my car today, afterward i removed an re fitted mine. then i went too drive an car started but sounded like it was misfiring but overfueling aswell.

its second time its happened, ive been for a drive an given it some beans too check the screamer was working an both times now the cars had this problem after. ive let it cool down etc after.

its strange as when you put the throttle down when its not revin ryt all black smoke comes out which indicates overfueling an its poping an banging etc. then after 30 mins it starts bit shetchy but clears itself.

any ideas what could be causing this too happen?

thanks

rep waiting :)

Sounds like the symptoms of a faulty coolant temperature sensor.
