Would bad injector o-rings cause my truck to miss only on a cold start? Even if i plug it in overnight it still misses for about 1/4 - 1mile sometimes more
Does it smoke at all? How long do you let it warm up before driving? Sounds like it's not getting to operating temp and when it gets to a good temp it stops missing.
Yes it smokes a blueish clear haze on startup. Then goes away when its driven down the rooad. I usually let it warm up while I'm gathering everything for work. So usually about 5mins.
268k lol. dunno if they have been replaced before me but iv owned it for a year and my brother owned for 2 years and the injectors have never been taken out since we have owned. iv gotta replace the injector cups so im gonna replace the orings while the injectors are out anyways
I'm sure you will but make sure you inspect your UVCH and all associated wiring and stuff while you have the covers off. IMO if you have never changed them I would be thinking about doing it even if they look.
haha yeah im sure they are wore out. whoever owned it before me and my brother didnt take care of it. since iv owned the truck in the last year iv had to replace all glow plugs, relay, uvch's, fuel filter housing, fuel regulator, fuel pump, all fuel lines, had to rebuild turbo and replace up pipes, replace steering column, and its in need of a transmission rebuild terribly bad. This is my first vehicle iv ever owned and poor thing its falling apart on me.
