Bad mass air flow sensor, coolant temp. sensor ! Is the check engine light on ? You should have it hooked up to diagnostic scan tool , check engine sensor data parameters .

    The check engine light isn't on, got a diagnostic done on it & it came back with nothing.

  • Jeff Armer Aug 30, 2015

    That still doesn't mean there can't be a problem with one of the sensors ! They don't always set codes or turn on the light! You need to take it to someone with a factory or professional grade scan tool, that knows what they are looking for !

SOURCE: heap of white smoke on startup but not always

White smoke usually occurs when there is not enough heat to burn the fuel. The unburned fuel particles go out the tailpipe and typically produce a rich fuel smell. It's not unusual to see white smoke in the exhaust during cold weather until the engine warms up.

Faulty glow plugs or control module can cause white smoke on engine start up.

Low engine cranking speed may also produce white smoke.

If white smoke is still visible after the engine has warmed up, the engine may have one or more bad injectors, retarded injection timing or a worn injection pump.

Low compression or air in the fuel system can also be a source of white smoke.

I STAND CORRECTED, TO RICH AND TO ANSWER YOU YES IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. ALSO ERROR LITE COMES ON

the temperature sensor often causes symptoms such as this. it incorrectly tells the computer that the engine is cold and needs a rich mixture which results in black smoke and hard starts. another cause for such a condition is fuel injectors that are dribbling rather than atomizing fuel spray.

2004 ford excursion 6.0 was running ruff and blowing black smoke. now wont start

Usually a sign of a faulty fuel pressure regulator or injector. Someone will need to check the plugs to see if they are fuel-fouled and where the excess fuel is coming from. Since this engine has an injector for each cylinder I doubt it is a faulty injector but something could be grounding all of them at one time.

I have a 2006 ford F350 that is hard to start in the morning (cold weather) and blows black smoke when it finally starts. The batteries are less than a year old.

Not knowing your experience with diesel motors,if the glow plugs are not being allowed to cycle it makes starting the motor cold much harder. If it has a block heater package that also helps to plug in. Keeps the coolant warm and in turn keeps the motor warm.

2004 Excursion 6.0 diesel blows intermitent white smoke

I don't drive a Ford but I drive an International and white smoke on start up means the engine is too cold to properly burn the fuel. Your black oil or soot is unburnt fuel. You should look at your engine's preheat system for a malfunction.
