Hello brand new member here. I have been around Powerstrokes quite a bit, but never played with IDIs that much other than owning one.
I picked up the 92 in my sig a couple nights ago. Ran great for the test drive, and the 130 miles home, and the truck was cold when I got to the guys house. The next day I let the truck warm up for about 15 mins before leaving work, and for the last two days, it has been running very rough on takeoff under load. It hesitates and misses/ sputters and when it does this it is puffing white smoke very noticeably (doesn't smoke when not sputtering). It also seems to me like it is lacking a little bit of power. I know these aren't power house trucks, but I have owned a 6.9 that I think would walk all over this truck. Today I had to run a few places after work and the truck was running for a while longer and it seemed by the time I was heading home, the problem of the sputtering had cleared up. Also got horrible mileage on the way home with it, and the truck seems to run "quiet" to me. I have been researching as much as I can but I always second guess myself which is why I came here. From what I have read, it possibly needs injectors. Does this sound accurate? Also by the horrible mileage, low power, quiet running, and the fact the PO recently put a IP in the truck, the timing might need to be advanced? Right now the line on the pump is almost right lined up with the line on the cover, maybe a lines width to the drivers side. Sorry for the long winded post just wanted to give all the info lol. I appreciate any advise.
