i broke down and finally baught a rem ip, injectors, return kit, glow plugs, and controller. got it all installed and it started ok. runs ok with a good vibrate and smoke. so I killed it and advanced it as far as I could. I still have a good amount of smoke till it warms up a little. then it slows way down but still smokes. the front left injector is leaking a bit, as I just used a cresent to tighting them. could this cause the smoke with air intrusion? im gunna put a socket on them tomorrow.

 

where did you get the parts from?
some suppliers have less than stellar reputations.

 

Dcp. I didnt look at the reviews which i regret doing. But its already baught and installed. But on the good note all my other problems are solved and i dont have to crank my truck for 10 minutes before it starts. It starts in about 2 seconds now. Can i adjust that throttle thing on the driver side of the pump. I may not have put it back in same spot. And why would i have to adance the pump so far. My old one was same way.

 

I did start it this morning and barely any smoke. Gave it some gas and it got a little heavy for a few minutes then stoped all together. But still has engine vibrate. My rpms with the sold start thing is a thousand. After it shuts off its at 750

 

yeah they don't have the best of reputations.sounds like you got reman injectors? my guess is,they are probably no good with the white smoke,rough idle.might try pulling,and taking them to a local shop to test and just replace the worst ones or have them reman the bad ones to spec.

 

Is there anything i can do to get a guess at which ones are bad. My wife is already mad at me for spending 600 dollars. Id hate to see her if i told her i gotta spend more money just to test them.

 

I don't know if this will help find a poor injector, but to check a non-working injector, you slightly loosen the line at the top of the injector while it is running. If the injector is working, the rpm will drop as it stops getting fuel.

 

please do not become alarmed,,but if all those parts did not make it run good you should preform a compression test, you may find one cylinder or more is low...this could mean that a cam lobe, or lifter, or two has worn out. due to cheap oil with out zinc.. a dial indicator can be used to compare valve lift to confirm a flat cam...
