Could a faulty MAP sensor cause an engine to blow smoke?

could cuase it to run rich, black smoke. if you have white from overheating, did you check the head for being cracked??

The original head was cracked so I'm very familiar with the smell of burning coolant. I replaced it with a reconditioned one. Engine temp. is steady so it's not overheating. The smoke kind of smells like sulfur (fireworks) so I'm thinking it's running very rich coming off highway speed and the MAP sensor is reacting slowly and after a little time, responds correctly and the smoke stops.

start with a compression test. make sure the cylinders are good.

have you replaced he basic components??? plugs, wires, coil??

what kind of vacuum do you have?? is it flutuating or steady and how much??

was the cat ok before this repair??
