do you have any boost? could be losing boost my truck blew a boot and blew a bunch of gray smoke

 

My EGT's got to 1200 for a breif time. But I don't have a boost guage hooked up yet

 

pre turbo or post turbo EGT temp?

 

The truck idles like crap. would a bad boot cause a bad idle when the motor dosen't make boost.

Pre turbo

 

no a busted boot won't make it idle like crap. have you checked to make sure that the fuel shut off solenoid is completely in the up position when the motor is running?

 

I took a zip tie and zip-tied it up

 

have you changed the fuel filter lately?

 

I did zip tie the shut down up all the way and it didn't make a difference.

It isn't the shut off selonoid

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

it has a new filter with the new p-pump

I think I may have blown the head gasket?????

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

I was told that I may have slipped the gear on the p-pump shaft.

Would that cause this problem

 

Sounds to me like your getting air in the system somehow.

 

i think if ya slipped timing it would make it run like crap...but im not 100%
