Message: [QUOTE="firehunter, post: 268944, member: 1162"] 197K and counting. GP system is brand new and working correctly - that has been confirmed. I have been doing a lot of searches in this forum and am leaning towards tired injectors. I found a couple of posts by Dave (golfer) that pretty accurately describe what I have going on. Yesterday I stood on it twice and did runs to 85 mph, it still builds 25 lbs boost and EGT's never went above 1100*. Drove a few more miles, shut the truck off and visited with family for 90 minutes, and it did it's hard start crap. I have a starting sequence kind of dialed in now where I listen to the engine closely while cranking, it usually tries to start on one or two cylinders then just cranks. If I keep cranking it will crank forever and not start. If I immediately turn the key off and quickly try it again (NOT waiting for the GP's) it usually fires off quickly and rather crisply - almost too crisply IMO - almost violently for just a second then idles perfectly normal and runs excellent as long as I keep it running. When it does start "too crisply" is when I get the white smoke out of the tailpipe just for a couple of seconds then perfectly normal after that. It did make the normal amount of black smoke on the WFO runs yesterday. From my searches it seems like an injector or two might be "hanging" or "sticking" open and letting too much fuel in the cylinders? When the other cylinders fire it takes a second or two to clear things up and equal the fuel/oil out and runs fine after that. Feel free to chime in because I don't want to have a problem, throw $1,500 injectors at it and still have the same problem. Don't get me wrong! I have NO issue with forced upgrades :D but I don't want the problem to still be there after the upgrades. TIA (as always) [/QUOTE]
