I am with ltfox, it is not the ICP, that can cause a no start situation but it is only a sensor for oil pressure.

I agree not the ICP but could be injector o-ring cut between the oil passage and the fuel passage on your injector. The oil would pressure into the fuel then oil would be injected also.

And you got 8 injectors for $80!!! Want to see if they have anymore and I will buy them and pay you for your time? thats insane!!

Ok BBW you said in your PM that the truck sat for about 2 years. and that since then you have done the DIY injectors. Was the truck smoking before your injectors were done? I am guessing it smoke pretty constant now? How about at idle? Also it would be best if you can update your sig to list everything you have done to your PSD as far as mods. Or atleast list them in this thread so we can see what we have. How many miles are on the truck? get back to with those answers and we'll see what we have.

Pull your intake tubing off and check your turbo for excess play in/out and up/down. I am wondering is the turbo is going bad and leaking oil into the exhuast. When the engine is cold no burning oil, hot engine burning oil lots of smoke. I don't think you have injector issues at this point. if you did you would be more likely to have more smoke at start up than after warmed up.

Well ok. shoots that idea for the most part. To verify that its not oil coming from the turbo might be worth a try to remove the downpipe clamp and push the DP away far enough to get your finger in there to check for raw oil. I doubt you will find any but its a free check!

I guess at this point (assuming you don't find any oil in the exhaust) you have two options. the first is to put new o-rings on your stage ones and try it again. two is to o-ring you new junk yard injectors and see what happens. if you don't have smoke then you either still have o-rings that aren't sealing on the stage 1's or you have a bum injector. Before I did either I would call Jim at RDS/DIY and pick his brain about possible causes from the injector stand point. then I would probably o-ring the junk yard injectors and see what happens. The fact that the smoke also happened prior to the stage 1's leads me to believe that it could be a worn injector.

lol, uhhh I meant you should add rep points to Tj's profile. go to one of Tj's post's in this thread and click on the scale lookin deal in the top right corner of his thread reply box. Leave hima comment and send it in. Rep points are just another way to say thanks to those that give ya a hand. I wish others would do it more often, especially for the guys like Tj, Cuda_jim, Rubberduck, Cookie, etc.,
