Evening folks!
So lately the 88 6.9 has been having a little trouble. It will start immediately then billow white smoke that doesn't go away (burns the eyes and smells like fuel for sure) then dies and I have to bleed the lines a bit and it eventually starts. I haven't gotten around to fixing the air intrusion problems just yet, and there are 3 or 4 leaky return lines. I drove it the other day, and gave it a really good running, and the smoke was gone completely afterwards, but today I went to start the truck, it started up started smoking again then died and wouldn't start for nothing. Lift pump is pumping good, no air restrictions, 12v to the fss which i can hear click when I tested it, batteries are new, starter spins fine. It won't even fire on ether. I haven't changed the fuel filter yet, but I still feel like it should've started on ether (yes the key was on). Before all this happened today, once I got it running initially it ran flawlessly besides the smoke and would start right back up when hot no problem. I am going to start with the fuel filter and air intrusion, but I wanted to run this by you guys. It just seems like the injectors are not getting fuel at all. This truck was sitting for quite a while before I bought it. Thanks in advance.
