yeah its normal, duratecs spew out lots of carbon, you should have seen Stazi's SVT on the dyno... I saw a video, there was just a constant flow of black smoke out the back... not THICK black, but rich black.

Originally posted by DyComet: Well I replaced 2 o2 sensors within the past 200 miles so I don't think that could be a problem. I drove the car around a little more tonight it isn't spewing as much but it still is. Is there any way to fix this?
There is nothing to fix. This is a relatively normal ocurrance.

Everybody is right. It is just condensation in your exhaust spewing out carbon, etc...
Nothing to worry about at all.
