hi
i have just bought the above vehicle and im a little concerened at the amount of grey/black smoke that comes from the exhaust on normal and hard acceleration. i have had the injector pump set up properly by a specialist and had an oil and filter change but it still seems to persist. The specialist suggested that i ran some injector cleaner through the fuel tank to clean possible deposits from the engine components but this hasnt worked either.
i have read on various forums that the injectors could possibly be worn and may need replacing and to also renew the fuel filter as this can sometimes cause the prob.
A little help on the matter would be very much appreciated!!!!

Black smoke is caused by overfuelling. Have you changed the air filter?
Can also be caused by poor atomisation due to dirty /worn injectors. Fit a new air filter, put some injector cleaner in and drive it hard for a couple of tankfuls to see if that cures it. If not you will need to have the injectors out, and get them checked by a specialist, and either overhauled or replaced.
