1997 F-250 powerstroke. need help
hi everyone
Ive got a obs 7.3 with a popping/rattle noise coming from my engine.
the truck makes this noise about 1500 rpm and higher but sounds fine at idle.
when cold start in the mornings it throws grey-ish blue smoke but it goes away when warmed up. Idling the truck shakes a little and rpm gauge moves a bit and when revving it has like a hiccup/hesitation at 2 rpm. my mechanic ran tests and told me its an injector knock aka fuel knock. he told me to locate the bad injector and so i took off valve covers and tested by unplugging each injector one by one and the #4 injector took the noise away and so i replaced the #4 injector and #8 but noise is still there and still idles a little rough. so im out of ideas, if i can get some info or help of any kind i would really appreciated it.
here is some info on my 7.3
miles read 324,700
2wd automatic
all stock never modded
regular oil and filter changes
new fuel pump and water pump
new cam position sensor
2 new injectors #4-#8
thanks
Aidan
