Exhaust Pipe Soot
95 Metro with 180,000 miles
My tail pipe looks pretty black inside. I also have some soot all over the back of the car below the rear window. Is this normal? All in all I would say it is pretty sooty back there. No problems with car, and engine runs nicely.

Re: Exhaust Pipe Soot
You might be running a little rich. A new 02 sensor may help, but if you have a leaky fuel injector it won't.
You can get a used FI at junk yard rather cheaply. Rebuilt ones cost an arm and a leg. Does your car burn much oil? It would also be worth your time to do a compression check. It is rather easy to do and the testing unit can be bought at walmart for about $25. The results will give you the condition of your engine.
