My first post,
Sorry to hear about your injection problems.
mine is a 94 1/2 IDI factory turbo. Had to remove / rebuild IP about 90k or so, now have 100k.
Started okay cold, not good, but would still go. MUCH worse when hot. Like no fire. Read NEVER put cool water on a hot IP. MAJOR damage. So that's what I did, got lucky, made it home.
Pump was shot, a ***** to remove, sent to an injection shop in Salt Lake. I think the owner / principal did a good job.
Will send shop name. Been doing the IDIs since they came out. Very competent and skilled.
Installed, RAN good, bought the timing tool but still need to do that job.
Need some input here. After installing IP, took the rig to the IP shop, all looked good, gave me a tip on timing. Then he had me pull the oil filler cap when running. HORRIBLE screech, really LOUD, like gear lash or rub. It's a new development.
IP shop said sometimes it happens, no idea how or why. He has seen before over the 30 +yrs on occasion. Has no answers. Also, have seen no damage, but I bet it's lurking.
If you have any solutions, I would appreciate an answer.
Thanks for the great blog.
