I am a total noob. I appreciate your patience and help.
I cant catch a break yall... I just bought my first diesel ever (94 f250 7.3 idi turbo) and have been going through it. After owing it for two days I discovered I need to replace the radiator. I got that done, and whilst taking her on a victory lap the accelorator cable broke. Tonight I got a new cable in there and rescued her from the side of the highway. As I slowed down off the highway and got into town I noticed she was billowing smoke from under the hood. Specifically the smoke was white and it appeared to be comming from where the turbo and intake meet. Also, oil pressure was very low.
I came to realize that I unpluged a part to the fuel filter to get the intake in easier and didnt plug it back in for the ride home (see pic for reference). I am not sure of its name or function. I have a service manual comming in the mail and will get spun up on names and finctions of this kinda stuff soon, so bare with me.
Would unplugging this and driving with it unatached be the issue?
