Stupid Glow Plugs
I'm getting lots of white smoke on startup.
Looks like I'ma have to do GP's and new O-Rings on my injectors.
I was thinking about doing the GP harness while I was in there just in case as well.
What is this gonna cost?

ur lookin at 100 buxs for 0-rings. 90 bux for the gps. i would just leave the gp harness alone if you dont see any burn pins. but wouldnt be a bad thing to order the harness's and stuff so when they do go you have them on hand.

It's just white smoke on cold start up for 30-60 seconds.
It was just a puff at first, but its getting worse.
It didn't when I first bought it, but its getting worse. No idea why.
I'm not going to pull no covers to go to town with a volt meter.
I need to redo o-rings on the injectors I think as well. Figured I mine as just well do it all and get it over with.
260k miles. and I'm sure they have never been touched.

You don't have to pull the valve covers to ohm the glow plugs... get out your frickin' meter and pop the hood mang.
GICIG
G= glow plug
I= injector
C= injector common
Ohm the GP's between the UVCH plug and a good ground, should be between 0.2 and 2 ohms. If not, you know you need to buy 8 new BERU glow plugs and replace them. Then test the GPR for voltage drop, more than 1v dropped across the relay means time for a new relay.

I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Ever since I replaced my o-rings I always have a little smoke at startup. I like to think that's common on a cold start at any temperature.
When my o-rings did go out you could smoke out yard pretty good...

Its your money, but if it were me I'd ohm them out before replacing them. If they are good, put the $70 or so you'd spend toward something else.
