Ok first off this is my first post and this is because this is my first diesel. Its a 91 F250 zf5 with a transfer case (4x4) n/a engine. I bought it outta some guys yard for 400 bucks. I dunno how long it had been sittin but the plates expired in 06 so imma assume a good while. well i coast started it due to havin dead batts and wouldnt you know it it fired up. Drove it home which was an amazing 2 miles. I hav put new batts and a dimmer switch (didnt hav lights) Ok now to the problem with the miss. Its a constant miss but i dunno how to figure wat cylinder and possible problems. I started it and let it warm up, then I sprayed the manifolds with water to see if there was any cylinder not hot enuff to make it steam directly off. didnt work all of em steamed.. By listening to it i tink its on the pass side. I went and bought an injector and pulled a couple one had a shine to it so i put it back next one was pretty black n crappy lookin. I replaced it it seems to run better (prolly in my head) but still has a miss... Summini noticed after reassembly is the fact that the small "pin" in the center of the injector was pulled back closely to the "face" of the injector and the shiny one that i pulled then put back in the truck was sticking out alot further. would a miss come from an inject bn stuck open? because if it aint the inject imma start lookin at the valvetrain. Ill get some pix up asap
