Check engine light
 
95 850 Turbo my check engine light came on, pulled the codes reading 232.
Exhaust smellpretty strong and greyish. Any suggestions? Thanks.

232 means long term fuel trim. Means a vaccum leak somewhere or something like that.

pardon my ignorance
so can someone explain why a vacuumn leak would make the exhaust smoke?
thanks.

It could cause the engine to run rich and the smoke you are seeing/smelling is unburnt fuel

just wanted to give an update on my code P0440 I was running.
Checked all the vacuumn lines this weekendand the problem
turned out to be a clogged tube (not sure of the name) that
goes from the air filter, black rubber and about 2ft long.
Cleaned it out full of leaves, reset the error codes and the check
engine light disappeared. Anyone know the name of this rubber tube?

does this black rubber tube that's connected to the air filter (right next to a slightly larger off-white tube) also connect to somewhere else? what is this black tube? i found the other end not connected to anything.
