Running rough, no solutions yet...
No luck, had to side step to another project… Back to this truck, fuel pressure was good at the heads. Tank leakage maybe? Bleed down?- Sms888

HPOP oil level was good, checked it a few times during my toying around. How can I know for sure?- Sms888

Running rough, no solutions yet...
UPDATE: Just took her for a spin, crank speed was a little slow, just under 150, but it was a little chilly here last night. However, once she fires after about 4-6 sec of cranking, it still sounds a little off. Drive it down the road and it still has low power, and tries to die as I slow to...- Sms888

That's the thing, they seem to be within spec according to what I dug up. What should they be? At first startup, IPR is around 17% but comes down to 12-14%. ICP starts at around 750, idles down to about 580. When I drive it, they seem to be right where I read they should be. She won't start...- Sms888

'96 7.3 F350 E4OD 4x4 45k. So she started to run funny like a clogged fuel filter… Hard starts, lots of cranking. Once started, runs ok, less power but she runs. Drive it around the block, starts to die, super low idle. Not the filter, threw in an extra CPS I had laying around after I...- Sms888

Air, White Smoke, Aggravated!
Update: After a crazy busy few weeks… Turned out my bleed valve had some gunk in it and the seal was on its way out. Replaced that, no more air or bleed down. Smokes less, runs better, next we do glow plugs. One more issue though, she won't start when she's warm/hot. I tried the water...- Sms888

Air, White Smoke, Aggravated!
Sorry, got caught up fixing an oil pan leak in another truck… I replaced the olives when I installed the pump, they leaked, replaced again and it turned out the tube flare was bent. I said screw it an upgraded to a hydraulic style hose with jc5 fittings, all good there now. I'll try the...- Sms888

Air, White Smoke, Aggravated!
Ah, now you see my aggravation… When I timed the pump gear, I used the ford supplemental manual for reference, Y to Y marks, dead on. I also checked for TDC on cylinder 1 by balancer and gp hole. Oregon Fuel Inj. supplied the rebuilt pump and new g codes. I guess I should pull the injectors...- Sms888

Air, White Smoke, Aggravated!
When the engine was rebuilt, I had to reinstall the gear cover and the new pump after the front cover was installed. I made sure the gear marks were lined up though(small mirror, pita). Again, it runs fairly well, fires right up after I prime it. Maybe something to do with the gp's? They are...- Sms888

Air, White Smoke, Aggravated!
I'm using a Ferrett pulse adaptor with an adjustable timing light, not mag pick up. Everything I've read and seen indicates using the 0 mark for TDC. Did I miss something? Thanks for the input though.- Sms888

Air, White Smoke, Aggravated!
So, the verdict is in, 9Degrees on #4 at 2k at the TDC mark, no smoke, no air in the tygon. If I goose it, I get some nice black smoke, but otherwise ran clean. Seems to smoke a lot more when colder(duh) but I swear I'm getting air somewhere or could it be a return issue?- Sms888

Air, White Smoke, Aggravated!
All new equipment from Oregon Fuel Injection rebuilt DB2 for 94 Turbo's *New* G code injectors(I know, should've gotten BB's…) Return kit for 93-94's Innova light 3568a Timing tab to short fat tube, there is no mark on the taller one, I guess that would set me off a degree or two? I...- Sms888

1/4" ID Tygon, the clamps are irrelevant because they are what I had that would actually fit the lines snug. The new return line kit it got from Oregon Fuel Injection had the larger red clamps for the 93-94 turbo's but they wouldn't fit the tygon. I am using the green clips and APA style...- Sms888

Hi all, I have a '94 IDIT auto 4x4, newly rebuilt, all new fuel system, good gp's, lift pump at 6psi, timed to 9.5(ferret), and I've got air and white smoke. She runs and pulls pretty good, but she smokes all the time and it's getting worse now that an air intrusion has developed. I have...- Sms888

'94 F350 Tank Straps?
94 F350 IDI Turbo just lost the sending unit in my front tank. While I was dropping the tank, I had to cut a tank strap and the other is in need of replacing. The truck has a diesel motor and an apparent 23 gallon plastic midship tank. The standard 19 gal straps are not the same. Mine both bolt...- Sms888
