Hi boys, I just finished swapping I a new to me turbo engine into my 93. It runs like a champ but doesn't idle when cold. The high idle solenoid is working, it just isn't enough. Once she's warm she's perfectly fine. Any ideas? Thanks.
I finally got it installed. Pretty uneventful. I do have one issue that you fellas can probably offer me some wisdom on. The new engine is a factory turbo(ats) and it didn't come with the downpipe so I ordered one from Banks. I still had to cut and alter the pipe downstream of the downpipe. No...
I'd like to start this engine prior to installation, mainly because I do t have time to take it up to where the truck is located for a couple of weeks. I don't have a started or ring gear however. I tried my hole hawg with a socket, no way. Any ideas?

Ca tree huggers
I'm a ca guy and though I agree with most of this stuff, I gotta tell you I've got a 05 cummins with 80,000 miles of veg oil under his belt. The high pressure fuel systems in new trucks work great for cheap fuel, but it's gotta be super clean. I have way more problems running...
