Check your vehicleās GUD air filter and improve your car efficiency
Itās important to check your air filter. All the dust and grime on the roads can make your filter dirty and clogged, lowering your fuel economy and putting unnecessary stress on the engine.

- Black sooty smoke or flames exiting the exhaust

If you have an air compressor, change the nozzle on the end with one that can spray the air out in a concentrated manner to clean the filter from dust and dirt first. If the air filter is too dirty or damaged then it will need to be replaced.
