black smoke when engine is cold, weather its 100 degrees outside or 30 degrees...till it warms up....I figure that is the airmass, but i wonder if i should worry about it running rich at high altitude since its better rich then lean when it comes to turbo, and once it warms the o2 seems to balance it off anyway. So should I worry?
I also have an issue when i used to drive a lot it would say check coolant after 20-25 days and i'd have to put about 2 cups in to get it to full at cold again, now that i don't drive the car a whole lot its about 45 days *NO LEAKS OR PUDDLES* Would that be the headgasket maybe? I do remember one day i was climbing a steep hill at almost full boost and the engine hesitated for a sec and puffed out some gray smoke but then it just went right back to norm and never poofed any more it was more of a clear gray.
course clear gray sounds more like allum...inum *EEEEEK*
