A little nervous!

Ok let's just say I was having a great morning yesterday and forgot to fill her up!

Ran my 2000 X ps 4x4 out of fuel yesterday DEE DEE DEEEEE!

Well I got fuel in it, I changed the filter just cause I had one.

I finally got her started (is it supposed to be so loud?)

The problem is that now it seems to have a miss in it???? and is blowing some blue smoke

It seems to smooth out a little when it comes up to and stays at around 2k

I have not driven it (scared).

What do you think?

You need to run it for a while to get all the air purged from the injector rails. It will clear out.

Thank you for the quick reply.

This thing is my baby and I was thinking I really screwed the pooch on this one!

So I should just get in her and drive it?

Let it idle until there is no more improvement in the sound, then go drive it.
