Re: black smoke help!!!!!

there are a bunch of products out there, you can go to a local parts store and they should have a few to chose from... I know 3M makes one and there is also seafoam among others... there should be complete instructions on how to use them, most of them you start the car and unplug a vacuum line, generally the brake booster line, and hold the bottle at an angle where the vacuum of the engine can suck the liquid in slowly enough so as not to hydrolock the engine, it is extremely important to not pour the liquid in too fast, slower the better... I know with the seafoam when you get to where there is about a 1/4 of the bottle left you pour it in quicker so the engine will stall out just as finish pouring it in, you then let the car sit (off) for about half an hour or so and then start the car and go back and forth with the throttle for a couple of minutes and then take it for a drive... don't hold me to the exact details because I'm reciting from memory, make sure to follow the directions precisely because you can cause damage to the engine if done impoperly, if you don't trust yourself to do it you may want to consider bringing it to a shop to have it done.
