    DC2R blowing black smoke

    hey,
    my problem is that my car blows heaps of BLACK smoke when i hit vtec
    its to the point where i i can cover the car behind me
    what could be causing my car to run so rich?
    i am also losing oil,i've done a compression test
    and leakdown test and everything is fine..
    i've swapped o2 sensors
    replaced pcv valve
    what else could be my problem?

          it could be your injectors, is it stock ECU or after market?

            do an injector clean, & use 98octane and not ethanol.

              maybe reset the ecu and see if it still does it

                ^ Yeah; what he said reset ecu.

                Oh and in addition to my above; replace fuel filter if you havent in a while.

                  i've replaced fuel filter,
                  it's running stock ecu,
                  and i always run 98 octane
                  you guys think it could be injectors?

                          try running another Ecu?

                          maybee theres something up with your Ecu?

                          also i think the 96 spec ITR did they use the ODB1 ecu? im actually not sure.. i have to say your car confuses me man =P

                            so it blows black smoke ony in VTEC? or only at WOT?

                            and is it OIL or FUEL smoke?

                            please help us to help you - more info required!

                              actually i have seen something similiar in a dc5r.. when the TPS was faulty and giving the ecu false readings and ended up just dumping fuel in? but in that car it made a significant loss of power.. so it was noticable..

                              is the above possible?

                              run the CEL check again and see if you get anything its uber hard to diagnose when your just guessing..
                              i really llost for ideas on your car since you done everything i can think of already =P
