Tracking down a shaky idle
I need help diagnosing a really shaky idle. The needle stays still at 650, but idle is rougher than it should be. Truck is auto and has about 270,000 miles. Things done recently: oil change, new fuel pump, cleaned ipr, cleaned fuel bowl (diesel was not black), cleaned both screens on fpr, fuel pressure is sixty something, unplugged icp with no change. I read that replacing injector o'rings might help with idle, but just trying to get help. Thanks

Sorry, i had just edited my signature. It's a 95. Truck had been sitting for a couple years due to the fuel pump, but I don't remember it being this shaky. Like I said, the needle stays put. It's not a shake like its running on less cylinders, but it's enough to make my loose door panels rattle.

I have not noticed how long exactly it takes for the oil pressure needle to go up. I don't think it takes that long, but I will definitely check tomorrow.

i was gonna say i had a 95. and it seems normal that the idle more like a tractor. but to rattle your doors, maybe a misfire?

I was on a ram hunt this past weekend, and the guide was driving us around in a '93 with around 32,000 original miles. That thing idled sweet. I guess to diagnose a misfire, I would have to take it somewhere to run a test, right?

You might want to give the UVCH harnesses a look. There a total of four two on each valve cover. Check for burnt pins.

I forgot to mention that when I was trying to bring the truck back to life, before I figured out the fuel pump was bad, I had replaced both gaskets and all 4 injector harnesses. But, I will check them again to make sure they are still good.

OEM or Dorman. Just curious. Injectors or o rings ever been gone through or replaced?
