[V8] Smoke on Acceleration (solved)

Hi all,

Some of you may recall I recently changed my RPM sensor which went on the 
fritz.  In the months leading to the failure of the sensor, I had an 
increasing amount of smoke coming out the exhaust on hard acceleration.

When I replaced the sensor, I also replaced the fuel pressure 
regulator--figured it was about time.

Well, I'm pleased to report, the smoking problem is gone.  Don't know if it 
was related to the FPR or the sensor, but one of them did it.  If you are 
having that problem, try replacing the FPR first (takes less than 10 
minutes) to see if it solves the problem.

Cheers.

Bill Gutierrez
