Ok my brother just got a 93 w250 and it is really slow. Please dont flame me for looking for smoke because that is not the goal. I opened the afc and turned the star wheel 1 and 1/2 turns and the fuel pen doesnt look stock because it is a symetric cone and doesnt have a steep side but it doesnt look performance either because it is not all that steep and it has #70 on the bottom. fuel linkage is pulling throtle all the way. No boost leaks as far as I can tell ( I put soapy water on the boots and afc). He doesnt have gauges yet so I have no clue what boost and egt's are at. I was just expecting this to bring this truck alive and it diddnt. What sould I check next Also it is all stock so it still has the muffler and fram filter


AGAIN THIS IS NOT A MAKE MY TRUCK ROAL COAL THREAD I WAS JUST EXPECTING A LITTLE MORE FUEL

I would start by checking fuel pressure and go from there.

Should be 18-24 psi at idle, 28-36 psi at 2000 RPM with no load.

Fuel screw, not smoke screw. Fuel screw can cause runaway, smoke screw can cause low boost smoke.

No Smoke is actually a good thing.
