Hey guys, I've been slowly fixing every issue on my truck trying to make it run like it used to. The problem I'm having is a persistent rough idle and sluggish throttle response with more than usual black smoke until the turbo lights. Even sometimes on my bigger tunes I get the odd pop or light backfire at 16-1800rpm getting heavy on the throttle.
Things I've changed:
FPR new bosch unit
New Harmonic balancer
Harmonic balancer dowel pin (bent)
Oil pump drive gear dowel pin (was bent)
Rebuilt Fuel filter head
Installed 1/2" CP3 inlet fitting
New 1/2" fuel hose to and from the fuel filter housing
Changed MAF
New MAP
Clean new dry filter
I've testing the CP3 with a tech 2 commanded rail pressure at the way up to 180mpa without issue. Can cycle the vanes in the turbo from 0 - 100% without issue. Installed fuel pressure gauge in bleeder screw on fuel filter housing confirmed 8psi from lift pump.
Balanced rates are:
Cyl1 0.9
Cyl2 -2.5
Cyl3 0.8
Cyl4 0.3
Cyl5 -0.3
Cyl6 -1.8
Cyl7 2.3
Cyl8 0.2
Calculated fuel rate bounces from 6-10mm3.
I'm at a total loss. Injectors have 100,000miles on them so does the turbo.
Main injection timing is 2 degrees at idle.
Possible my ecm is acting up? Zero boost leaks.
Going to check injector return rates next.
Any help is appreciated
