Hey guys,

My Ecoboost just started to emit black soot at start up. Its never done this before. Tailpipe has black soot and some on the floor of my garage. It also smells a little rich too me. Anyone else have this issue?

The black soot it normal for direct injection engine, especially a turbo`d one.

Soot is normal. I put a black exhaust tip on mine, now I can't tell if my tailpipe is sooty or not.

Doesn't look like annoyance to me. It just looks Nor Cal was trying to give you more reading material on it, due to the fact a lot of people MAY not respond because they have already responded once on this subject.
