Early '04 No Power While Cold
Early 2004 low power while cold. Thinking it's injector o rings or injectors. Little smoke until warm. FICM just under 48 volts while cold. ICP and IPR look good. Any ideas?

That's what Mine ended up being was Injector O-Rings
You have Fuel Delution ??
I had No Smoke
But ALL the Other Sticktion Symtoms with Fuel in Oil every couple weeks it would Make a qt or 2

I would check my Oil leval every few days
Every couple weeks it was High again after I had drained some Off the week before
I check so often I knew what was going on
yours sounds like a injector though
You can also send a Oil sample in for testing if you want

Yes it Does seal with an Oring that is Installed in the Top of the Injector and held in with a Keeper
Exactly^^ was my senereo
A really Bad Oring may NEVER warm and Seal just depends on Severity of the Failure
Also in my case I don't remember much smoke there may have been a little smoke but Not much

Top image is the injector before I cleaned it compared to a clean one. Bottom image is after I cleaned the injector. The streaks look like fuel eating out the metal? Are these injectors salvageable?
P.S. That black gunk smelled strongly of fuel which makes me think I was on the right track with o rings.
