    Cold Advance Question

    That's what I thought but it makes no difference in sound at all...could that mean the pump has a problem?

    Cold Advance Question

    Can't see how that is...if it advances the timing it would do it at any rpm I would think but maybe I'm missing something

    Cold Advance Question

    Question about the cold start advance switch on the injection pump of my 93 7.3 NA....with it disconnected and the engine started, if I touch a hot wire to the switch it makes no difference at all in the rpms or running condition...shouldn't it?

    Glow Plug Voltage

    I've read a bunch on this topic but still not sure I understand....I have 12V to the GP relay that drops to about 10v on both relay terminals when the key is turned on....I get a little under 10V at the glow plugs...glow plugs are new Motorcraft and GP relay is new...the wait to start light...

    Cold Advance Question

    So in the video I posted I show where when the truck started without the high idle engaged it cleared up and ran smooth...when I engaged the high idle it started smoking...could that indicate timing being to low still?

    Cold Advance Question

    I'm assuming the cold advance still operates even if the high idle solenoid doesn't?

    Timing

    For those that might want to know....ended up just a dimes width advanced past the static marks on the pump

    Timing

    Understood, was just a observation

    Timing

    Ok, looking at the engine from the front the engine turns clockwise so I'm assuming if the line is showing up past the TDC mark it needs the timing advanced...btw, at idle the lines match up...

    Timing

    I hear ya! Still doesn't answer the question...

    Timing

    I am doing that but just thought I get a heads up ...kinda of a pain to keep loosing and tighting up the pump nuts

    Timing

    I had it set at 8 degrees...before I start moving the pump would just like to know if the pully mark being above the TDC mark is advance or retard...then I can move the pump accordingly
