start with a compression test. once that is done, make sure you have the wires on correctly. it is easy to cross them.

what was the codes?? when did this start??

02 sensor was extremely black when replaced truck started smoking black when o2 sensor light came on so replaced 02 and stopped smoking now just acts like a misfire. Only would smoke under heAvy throttle or towing

What about a injector problem not allowing injector or injectors to fully close and loading up on fuel? Just a thought..
