By inefficient combustion. A properly tuned engine will burn fuel very efficiently and the only emmissions would be carbon dioxide and water which is actually a good thing. An engine running rich or lean (trying to burn fuel without enough air, or burning fuel with too much air) will have a lot of hydrocarbons (basically gas) and NOx (oxides of nitrogen) coming out of its exaust. These are not so good.

Basic difference in Internal combustion and External combustion engine's work principle?

internal combustion engine is one in which we burn the air fuel mixtue inside the cylinder of engine eg car engine external combustion engine is one in which we burn the fuel outside of engine and then take the hot gases inside the prime movers for taking out work eg gas turbine
