Ok I replaced both valve cover gaskets uvch harness and put in a set of new glow plugs i discovered #4 injector oil flow zero order a rebuilt injector and installed it. ran the truck to the station to fuel up everything seemed ok . this morning get up to start up and engine now has a very noticeable miss and ses light comes on i thought maybe might just be some air in the fuel lines and it will eventuallly smooth out and it did but once engine cools down the symptoms and ses light comes back on. codes p1316 and p0272 apear again what could be the problem used ae to detect buzz, contrbution when the ses light is on engine missing faults show when the ses light is off engine smooths out no codes show. im stump please chime in anyone? p.s. 2000 7.3 psd

Reason: forgot to mention something
You'll have to do the buzz test when things are not running right, or if the engine is warm just use ae to monitor rotational velocity numbers. That should tell you where your problem is.
Where did you get your rebuilt injector from? With your issue being intermittent, I'd say you've either got a slightly loose plug on an injector, or you've got an injector soleniod acting up. #4 would be suspect since it's happened so soon after your swap.
ok guys I believe Ive found my problem i was trouble shooting and found out what was that new valve cover and wiring harness was not making complete contact when i would pull up,or rock the outside electrical connector i would get engine miss but when i lifted up on the electrical harness engine ran smooth no more missing or ses light. Oh i forgot to also say i replace wiring harness plug also and still had the missing problem .One more thing i would like to mention ae only gave codes 1316 and p0272 but it seemed like it was more than one cylinder missing so i slightly bent up male connectors in the valve cover gasket so that plug would make connection inside wiring harness plug. Hope this helps,
