Angry Helppppp

I have a 93 f350 7.3 turbo. i replaced the injectors today and it smokes like a SOB and misses. Also when it was cold i heard no rattle except the shaking of the engine from it missing and when it is cold it smokes out the whole street and doesnt quit.
Please help i replaced these cause i bought the truck and it always had a little miss and lacked power.

Welcome to the forum.

What color is the smoke?

Where did the injectors you installed come from?

How much has the engine run after you changed the injectors?

Your problem may be Diesel Care and Performance.

I have no experience with them, but it seems that 8 out of 10 people have trouble with their stuff.

But most of the people that come in here are here because they are having troubles.


Were the injectors supposed to be new or rebuilt?

Dunno about the Pensacola rebuilt injectors, cause as of lately there have been an increasing number of complaints about their rebuilt IPs, but they do carry NEW injectors at a very reasonable price.

And yes, Diesel Care is a bad bad bad choice, sounds like Mhenneboehle is having the typical issue associated with their injectors.

However, one thing to be considered - gray smoke is also an indicator of retarded timing, what happens is the new injectors are set to pop at pressures that a worn out IP can't keep up with - try advancing the IP a bit and see if it helps, you may just get lucky in that. Not to mention that ULSD junk requires advanced timing to begin with...
