c15 acert blowing a lot of black smoke please help

Could be a number of things but i would lean toward injectors or some kind of fuel issue if it had trouble starting.. I would not drive it. Best to have it towed or have them come to you and ceck it out.

 

Sounds like a real cold start to me. I'm guessing you've had it long enough to experience a cold start though?

If you have had a cold start with it before it could be low fuel psi on startup hence the rough running and hard start

 

Had this happen to me one time with a pete c15 accert. Also an 07 model. I got the same suggestion to shut it down and have it towed. Being as it was a co truck and I was only 2 mls from the receiver I ignored that advice and drove to receiver. It ran rough,smoked like a frieght train and had no power for a mile then cleared up as if nothing had happened. Never had the problem again.

 

You can drive it, i would not. A buddy of mine drove his when running rough and blowing black smoke and messed the motor up bad. Cost him $3 grand to fix it. f he had it towed would have cost him a 3rd of what it did.

 

He said he was in NJ, wasn't that cold there last night. Something else is going on.

 

i guess blown injector tip.... just sayn makes sense

 

don't waste the tow money.drive it to shop.you have a bad injector as stated above.they are expensive injectors.10r-0273 (i think).good luck.
