Hi there, just got another one of my IDI powered Ford trucks running again - I removed a blown up motor and installed a good used 7.3 I had laying around. After initial fire up, a few problems have made themselves present.
1. The truck runs rough at idle/has a fairly steady miss - The fuel return caps and line have been replaced, and the feed line has also been replaced. It also has quality diesel in the tanks as well.
I also did a cylinder balance test to verify the above issue wasn't caused by a faulty injector - It tested ok.
2. When sitting at a stop light, it will rev from idle to around 1100 rpm, then slowly idle down to its normal RPM at idle in gear. - I verified no issues with the with the throttle cables - at "idle" or with my foot off the pedal, no binding is occuring.
With the above being said - is it possible for the govener in the pump to be causing these issues?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Brad
