Hey all, Took my truck out for the first spin today, Ran pretty good exept when accelerating I get plooms of white smoke? Could this be I/P Timing or somthing else, Thanks -Brad-
What do you mean by "first spin". Is it rebuilt, new injection pump/injectors, what?
Essentially this is true. It is usually timing related.
But, there can be other reasons for white smoke.
The timing can be very substantially affected by fuel pressure. If your lift pump is bad, or youve got fuel leaks, then the injection pump pressure can be affected, and it will act like timing issues.
A "cold" engine can smoke white. This is the reason for the "after glow" portion of the glow plug controller, or the on/off sequencing of the '87 and later years controller. To help alleviate cold startup smoking.
Hey all, so I noticed somthing else today, If you hold the throttle in my truck about half way it has a slight miss and that is when the smoke comes, the smoke is pure whitel, Is this unburned fuel, maybe an injector problem rather than timing, It sure starts up nice, even when its cold, but what do you guys think? Thanks -Brad-
