    Project Stress Test

    Could be lol I’ve been going down the diagnostic list today and you never know. That was my next step to triple check after lunch. It has that kind of feel. Either way the cam needed to be adjusted so that was good.

    Project Stress Test

    Yes, thanks for response though. I’ve tested IDIs from 0 degrees to in the teens and they still idle like you said. This one will not idle. Almost like metering valve sticking or something. Justin set’s the idle twice, initially via the internal adjustment with the cover off, and then after all...

    Project Stress Test

    It’s back together, started it, same issue doesn’t idle and appears to be unburned diesel. Compression tested it, every cylinder is over 400 psi. Next stop may be IP/injector.

    Project Stress Test

    I started the car for the first time. I didn’t install the cam in this and could tell something was off timing wise. It wouldn’t even start without the IP max advanced. The PO had installed the cam one tooth retarded. This is a PSA that the R&D cam needs to be degreed in to 111*/112* +/- 2*...

    Expected boost

    It’s not directly in response to your question but some things for your consideration. I had a T04Z truck, Wastegate delete, CDD intercooler, R&D 130 IP. It was supposed to see mid 30s and it was seeing 26 psi at the cold side pipe going into the intake. I pressure tested the system and no...

    Cold timing advance problem

    That doesn’t sound right but I don’t run cold advance so I can’t say 100%. Cold advance is like 3 degrees. That won’t cause those symptoms unless you think there’s something downstream funny happening in the pump? Do you know it’s clicking off or guessing it’s clicking off right when it happens?

    My '89 is dead, what's happened?

    there’s different style relays but all the same concept. You’re going to have highlighted red below the always hot from the battery. In the purple highlighted area you’ll have S and I. S is energized when you turn the key to start. It then allows the electricity to flow from Red to Orange below...

    My '89 is dead, what's happened?

    Chances are it’s the ignition switch, rod, etc along those lines in the column. It’s a bricknose thing. Jump the starter relay. If you don’t know how send pic of your solenoid.

    Leaking valve covers

    Any chance you over tightened?

    G injectors or not

    “All stock IDI injectors pop the same pressure, they all have the same orifice diameter, the only difference in codes was minor changes to the pintle that didn't do anything.”

    Pulling Hair Out with ZF5 Install - What's the Trick to Installing One?

    It’s a weekend job for the bulk items (column and pedal swap, trans, etc) and then the final fit and finish add some extra. Plan longer for your first time. Plan longer if your toolset and comfort with swapping drivetrain components is low. Another example is you need to be able to control the...

    Fresh build, smoke, stumped

    I would put an asterisk on the paperwork in @IDIBRONCO filing cabinet. You are correct that custom and modified pumps may require different inlet pressure. The R&D130 is 9 psi for example.

    DB2 Fuel Intake Thread

    Hey, you’re asking about the inlet fitting right? it’s 5/16 ORB with 1/2-20 thread and then the other side of the fitting you choose whatever you want.

    nice, data acquired and the IDI version of a power balance test.

    Fresh build, smoke, stumped

    Im still on IP or lifter - if I recall you didn’t do any bottom end / rings on this engine right? And you didn’t change anything else at the same time on the fuel system from when it was working before? I have / had 4 R&D IPs and multiple sets of injectors zero issue though but the symptoms...

    Thanks man here’s some more pics of the drivetrain fit

    Fresh build, smoke, stumped

    Also I know you’re beat and probably don’t want to touch it anymore but since you don’t have working tools to diagnose ATM I’d pull the valve covers and start it and make sure all your lifters are functioning correctly

    Fresh build, smoke, stumped

    When it was advanced and you said ticking was the white smoke and idle haze present?

    Fresh build, smoke, stumped

    If it wasn’t a brand new IP and you cranked it advance to test it, I would be saying IP and injectors after comp test
