i just went out to ck air cleaner was dry. i think smoke was black hard to tell let it run awhile cleared up when you rev it up kind of hard shots of fire back fire but runs fine at idle and above ? i will call tomorow i gess.
The flames are unspent fuel igniting at the pipe tips. One thing to consider is that the o2 sensors are narrow band on the delphi system......the changes they make are very small. A much better though more expensive setup would be wideband for more significant temp and atmospheric changes.Drastic changes in air temp and humidity can affect a/f ratios to the point of running lean or rich and beyond the capabilities of the ECM to fully adjust. I have a PCIII with a custom map (no o2 sensors anymore)on my bike and I noticed that when the air temp is cold and a little moist,beforethe motorwarms up, it is rich off idle, sometimes has a small hesitationand will blow a little black smoke when revving. I even saw the flames as well. After reaching operating temp, itruns fine.
