Smoke and power loss

Jimmy78 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-19-2007, 07:51 AM

I just recently replaced my glow plugs and noticed that two of my injectors on the drivers side were disconnected. I plugged them in and noticed a huge difference in power. It has been a week and I am noticing smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipe when I step on the accelerator while driving. Mostly over 2000 rpm. It seems as though I am starting to lose power again. Any suggestions?

Your truck may be defueling because it reached too high of a boost pressure. Which is right around 22psi. I had the same problem you need to get a boost fooler.

How do I install the turbo boost fooler onto the truck?

Are you stock still or do you have a programmer or chip?

I am still stock as far as I know. I bought the truck used and I am still new at this mechanic thing. I am not even sure to locate the chip.

Where to locate the chip.

if they were disconnected at the valve cover....then you need to replace that harness. the connectors sag and thats what lets them disconnect.....

Take a look at your computer here to see if there is a chip in it. The chip installation instructions are the best I can do. It shows what it looks like with a chip and how to take the PCM out. Here: http://www.dp-tuner.com/Documentatio...stallation.pdf

And like Marc mentioned. At the least check the harness plug on the valve cover for now. The plugs on the injectors have a lock to keep them from coming unplugged. Were the metal clips still there?
