2006 Mazda Protoge 2 l ES 279912 A lot of black smoke comes out of the tail pipe. Engine oil is lost. I tried to get a read out with my OBD2 Car reader, but no fault code is noted. Misfire Monitor, Fuel System Monitor, Comprohensive Component Monitor are steady. Catalyst Monitor, Evaporative System Monitor, Oxygen Sensor Monitor, Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor and Exhaust Gas Recirculating Monitor are flashing during the testing. Could it be, that the OBD2 does not work on the Mazda. It works well no my 97 Sable and 2000 Taurus. Any of your comments would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Otto Doering

How much oil did it lose? You might want to find out where the oil is going or is leaking from. Black smoke usually means the engine is burning too much fuel. You need to think of things that would make an engine run rich. You really need scan tool data to see how the engine computer is controlling fuel and what the inputs look like. Has there been any recent work done before this happened? Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
