Hi all, hoping someone can help me with this problem. My 93 poverty pack 80 series wagon gets around 14-16ltrs/100k. This figure goes out to around 17-18ltrs /100kwhen towing my 23ft caravan. The problem is that on long pulls up hills (in 3rd or 2nd gear) I get to about 1/2 way without any excessive black smoke out the rear then suddenly, without any more throttle, black smoke just pours out the exhaust. lifting off on the throttle only results in losing speed and smoke continues to pour forth. The injector pump has recently been overhauled and so have the injectors (supposedly...). 309000ks on the clock and no visable oil useage on the dipstick between oil changes at 5000k with filter changed as well.

Thanks to all
