This is a problem I've been having for a year and a half already. Ever since I bought the car. Its less than when I first bought it since it was mistreated. I've invested ALOT of money to get it to where it is. All I need to know what is causing this to make it the perfect car.

It's in another thread but the title and topic was not about this.

i have a similar problem in my car. make sure the distributor cap is new, wires and plugs are good, if everything is new and working, take the cap off the dist. and spray some WD40 in there. let it air dry and try it again. the problem with mine was that the spark jumped around too much, making the fuel not completely fire. (black smoke)

This only happens once after every startup

Have you ran codes?

I suggested in the last thread that you check out the ECT sensor and you never answered up on it.

I bought a scanner on ebay which should come in about a week and I was wondering if you could show me a pic of where the ECT is located.

Black smoke RICH. On initial start up its kinda normal try it under load. Does it smoke??? Look at the airfilter and check the fuel preasure. Preasure is 35-40 with vacuum hose disconnected. Also run codes and check the ECT resistance to temp scale.

The ECT is located in the lower intake, right near #2 and #3 injectors. It is a 24mm fitting IIRC.
Here is a pic from the EVTM for the turbo 4. It is a little different, but the ECT location is the same.

The 2nd pic has it highlighted as well (pic courtesy of Fred)
