my car smokes los but ot told it was fuel because of the colour of it i know its overfueling because i have lovely flames when it pops
would a remap sort this and where exactly do you go for a remap and what costs
if remapped and the smoke is fuel with me having no cat etc then will it be a lot less with a remap?

doesnt need a re-map. find out why its overfuelling first. its likely to be lambda.

hes full of shit. (as we have already learned from previous posts about this 'mechanic')
before even thinking about a re-map get the problem of it running rich sorted. is your em light working ok?

yep engine management is fine thats fully set up
apart from the overfueling everything seems to be running ok
so would the lambada thing cause overfueling

on a c16xe its the most likely cause. also look at the afm. getting any management lights?

try unplugging the lambda. this will cause the ecu to give a pre-determined value in its place. its a good method to start testing it. do the same with the afm

the ecu gives itself a value rather than getting one from the sensor (as the sensor isnt plugged in)

this value is more likely to be closer to the one the engine needs to run properly than the one that is being given by a faulty sensor

check your spark plugs, if they are not black and sooty then you may just have a small hole in your exhaust or maybe some baffles came loose, this can cause the same probs you mentioned
