Every time I start my Truck I get one good "misfire"/squirt/gas puff sound. Thats been going on for about 9 months.
Then about 3 months ago something sounded off... that would happen sometimes when I was driving my car.
The car sounded like it was going to break down last week when it was low on diesel, but after refilling it it seemed like it was doing just fine again. I thought water-in-lines, but I just had the water drained last oil change (but this one tank of diesel was going on 3 months)
Now it sounds worse, it happens every few minutes. Sometimes it sounds even worse (Today it was idling after dropping off a load, and my wife commented that she thought someone slammed on the gas and was stealing it- like it stumpled and caught itself).
Most people I know with injector issues are getting codes, right? I'm getting no codes... so I'm not sure what my diagnostic plan should be... Just wait until it gets even worse? Bring it to a diesel specialist? (closest decent one is a 2 hour trip) Do something to help clean injectors?
I don't drive the truck daily, maximum of a few times/month but the diesel fuel in it now is under 2 weeks old. I also use stanadyne. 188,600 on the clock. Several times a year I'll put thousands of miles on it in a week though.
