Well it all started with making more noise on Bio diesel, then to making more noise, then to throwing a couple of codes 370 and 251.
Would clear them and it would work for a bit then have a fit again, then it started to take longer and longer to pressure up on fuel cycle, sooo, changed lift pump, worked for a bit then back to codes and long cycles then hard starts when warm would start good cold once fuel pressure was up. But warm starts would take a bit of extra cranking and codes as soon as it stated.
So last weekend i did the injector nozzles because I figured they were due anyway and I thought I had a return line leak,not so the PO had said he had removed an injector to check for something when it started to miss (bad exhaust valve) but he must not have had an injector wrench and used a cresent or something because one injector was a massive leak, so just did the nozzles while it had to come out anyway. Thought they were original but had seven french and one german nozzle and one washer was in wrong. No pop test but got to be better than a leaky system.
And once again worked for a bit then back to the hard warm start and codes. Sigh!
Found a rebuilt IP and spent this weekend in between the rain getting it in, got it in and going seems to be running well may be a bit fast n timing maybe tried to put it back in the same place, but will have to get something to read it just have a code reader not good for much else.
But power is better, throttle smoother on lower end and best of all reader says all is well,
So hope it will keep going now seems to be good. Less hard knock now.
