'94IDITurbo7.3
HAMMER DOWN!
i would like a straight answer to my question. does the timing on the injection pump on my '94 7.3L idi Factory turbo change as the pump ages and wears? I replaced all of my injectors about a month ago and ever since i changed them my MPG is non-existent. Now when i start the truck it idles kind of rough for a few seconds and smokes white smoke then goes away no matter what engine temp or how long the truck has been sitting. from what i have read on this froum when you replace the injectors you should have the injection pump timing checked and adjusted. to me that makes sense. my engine has 200,000 miles on it.
I am 3rd owner of truck so i have no history on injection pump. is there any way to tell if it is original or reman?
i have been to my local ford dealer and they said that the IP does not need to be re-timed unless i get a new IP. i went to a local auto service shop and they said that the pumps really don't were out and the timing doesn't change. i told the auto shop that i have seen posts on this forum saying that if you get 100,000-150,000 mile aout of an IP you are doing good, and he said that he sees IP all the time w/ 250,000-300,000 miles and still going strong.
Sorry for such a long post but just want get a straight answer and want to explain myself.
Thanks
