Hi all,

Yesterday was my move day and all my friends were at work, so there was no one to drive my little car to the new apartment. I went to U-haul and bought a hitch and ball and rented a tow dolly. I had already packed the bed of the truck with stuff and the car with mostly weapons. Yeah, I have A LOT of guns.

While driving, I knew I was towing something and while braking, I really knew I was towing. She made it, though.

Not just when towing but I am noticing some smoke when or if I accelerate off the line quickly and shaking at idle. My plague seems to be back. It shakes more if I am in gear. If I put it in neutral, it shakes less. I got a pulse timing adapter and #1 line from Oreo, so I can try timing it again. Thanks buddy!

 

How new is the IP?

 

The IP and injectors are the old set. I have not installed the new ones a second time. The first time I did, there were some unknown to me issues and I wound up reinstalling the old set. I marked the old pump before uninstalling and reinstalled it at that same mark. I think it is timing related. I think the pump is severely retarded. I got the timing adapter and lines installed this morning. I threw the meter on it and it read -3.2 degrees. I advanced it a dime and a half and now it reads 1.1 degrees. I did set the meter to -20 degrees offset before plugging in the cables. Just to be double sure, it should be at 8.5 not -8.5, right? I don't want to blow a head gasket.

 

The IP and injectors have been rebuilt or replace at some point.

I read that article already. They are timing with a lumy probe. I have a pulse adapter now. I think I just need to advance it some more. It's getting pretty hard to turn and I already loosened the top injector lines on the pump.

 

yes thats right.now that your timing with the pulse adapter,you will not be using the -ATDC,but the BTDC.
i knew all along you where being WAY to conservative on your timing.
make her rattle a little already would ya.
your going to find a WHOLE NEW ANIMAL under the hood once you advance that thing already.
it's a wonder the thing got out of its own way,let alone hauled some weight and towed a car! i sure hope you didn't have any hills.

man,you should put your new ip and injectors back in first,and then time it.
you'll think you just installed a whole spare engine in there.

 

I advanced it another dime's worth yesterday and the meter read 0.00. It might have been a negative 1.1 the first time. I took it for a test drive and it seems to smoke a light haze even on normal acceleration. It is probably still too retarded but I can't move the pump any more without loosening the lines on the bottom. The temps were normal during the drive so I will leave it like this until I install the new stuff again. The good thing is I don't notice much shaking at idle any more. I better order that injector I need.

 

This site has the cheapest price on a single injector. Has anyone done business with them before?

Diesel Care Inc

Also, is there a place where I can buy just the o-rings and washers? I don't need the lines, mine are new.

 

I put in an order with Diesel Care for a new Delphi BB code, return line kit and pump install kit. I got the install kit for the pump o-ring just in case my new one needs to be replaced.

I'll let everyone know how the products and service are.

 

Well, I got my order in today. I got my injector and two return line kits but no IP install kit. I don't think I'll need it but now that I said that...

 

Did you have trailer brakes?

 

No, it was just a regular tow dolly from U-haul.
