I Ill get you a video in a few. I am gonna put some miles on her and see if it smooths ou

 

About how long to fully bleed? I only put a few miles on it
To tired to go any more and to many stop lights

 

Another easy upgrade for this motor is to use a Powerstroke oil filter. It's twice the size of the IDI filter and the base is identical.

I also use a B&M shift improver to firm up the shifts. I have it in both of my trucks. I've been running them for 5 years and have had no problems. I also do a fluid/filter change every 2 years. If I did any towing or frequent heavy hauling, I'd probably do it every year.

 

I have a late 2-3 shift and sometimes it seems tojump to od to fasr

 

The lift pump pumps 1/3 pint in 10 seconds while cranking, So in 60 seconds that would be two pints of fuel while cranking ... I have never tested the flow while running but I suspect it is more than 1/3 pint in 10 seconds!

So, In a minute or so of running all the air in the system will be gone unless it's leaking air on the suction side of the lift pump. ie tank to lift pump.

The shift improver won't change the shift pattern or schedule. It only firms up the shifts by electronically increasing the line pressure.

 

lift pump is gone, I went electric

 

Shame, however electric or manual it's still a lift pump.

Would off timing cause a miss?

 

[edit] IGNORE ... brain fart on my part, forgot the injectors were replaced! Duh! [/edit]

In affect thats exactly whats wrong in a cylinder or two, but adjusting the pump timing will not resolve failing Injectors.

If you were to have your Injectors pop tested you will find that some pop a little low and some are super low, then there is the dribbling ones!

An early (low pop pressure) popping Injector is like advancing the timing for that one cylinder.

What did the tips look like before you cleaned them ... Sooty, Wet, Dry, Oily, Black, Brown, White, Green, Blue, Yellow ???

I had them pop tested earlier. I replaced them all tonight. I had posted the results a page back.I Don't remember what they looked like, ill have to go check the old ones

 

Yea, Sorry, Brain fart on my part ... You got new ones don't worry about the old ones!

How consistent is the miss, is it steady or erratic ??

They were in horrible shape. think the timing is causing the miss?

 

Erratic. Only once in a while
More like a surge
