I would not go for another pump just yet. A worn pump will not "overfuel". As it wears it will put out less pressure. If it is smoking at idle can you crack the injector lines one at a time and make the smoke go away? This would isolate one cylinder or another and possibly point to a bad inject

What is the tested condition of your injector nozzles? Do they have a clean cone with find droplet size? or do the break clean at pressure ? Do they shut off clean when they should? If you nozzles are dribble and squirt, bad atomization, and drool after shut off pressure spec it can cause the sy

Yes, I understand it is supposed to control fuel flow at low speed w/out boost. I am looking for any solution at this point and will try "almost" anything. We have tried adjusting the timing back and forth to get a steady idle and power at speed. Nothing is working correctly at this time. I

Isn't the ALDA supposed to control fuel at low speed with no boost? Black smoke and no power sounds like too much fuel or not enough air. Is the turbo spooling up? Could be timing advanced too far I guess. Mike On Jun 28, 2013 7:48 AM, "Mike Esh" wrote: > Thanks for the help Mitch. I have no
