OMG guys, my s2k is giving me yet another problem. When I punch it or really get on the gas and shift @ high rpm, (I rarely go upto 9k rpm) it's shooting black smoke threw the exhaust. But it doesn't shoot the smoke if im driving like grandma. Black smoke means burning gas. Blue smoke means burning oil right guys? What's wrong now?????

 

well everyone shoots black smoke when they rev high.

 

you should see mine when i get on it..

 

What? Really? Are you sure the piston rings are not bad? Its that the the s2k's come from the factory? I don't think i remember it doing that when i first got it. To me I think smoke coming from the exhaust isn't good at all. Do i have anything to worry about then?

 

Yeah...mine too if I really get on it (WOT and 9k).

 

Yeah...mine too if I really get on it (WOT and 9k).

what do you mean (WOT and 9k?)

 

dont worry all ap1's do it when they are at WOT (Wide Open Throttle) at high rpms 8k 9k.

 

I think our cars run a little lean...

 

oh ok, another question. What is a AP1 and AP2?

 

You know...I don't know what tha "a" and "p" are short for. What it represents is AP1 is Model year (MY) 2003 and earlier (2.0 liter), and AP2 is MY 2004 and later (2.2 liter).
