I'm with Dllrd23. From the video, it sounds to me like an internal engine problem. Don't these motors have a problem with the cylinder liners? D-chunk seems to be the technical term. That would explain all the smoke.

But what I don't get is why the relay would fry at the same time. I doubt it's coincidental.

Edit:
On second thought, if that were the case it should throw a misfire code. So hopefully it's not D-chunking.
