If you clean it off and go for a short drive is it all over again? Black crap coming out can be carbon build up too, on valves and combustion chambers and the like. The normal bit is well...normal. If it builds really quick i suggest getting it looked at. Even another emissions test would tell you if its fuel or not. When i was E-tested i got really high NO2 readings, suggesting rich.
 
No, the shit builds up over time. A month or so and I've got a filthy bumper :). I'm going to have a compression test done as soon as I get this car back on the road.

I'm running 1-wire o2 sensor with the po8 ecu so that could have something to do with it, plus I took something off the intake manifold when I did the swap. There was something that didn't go on or something here's a picture:

Anyone know what that is? I took it off. There's not even an electrical connector hanging around for it from the harness.
