i cant think of that other sensor just be careful with them you might wanna try pullin the injectors and cleaning them by hand and then run some injector cleaner and when you fill the tank up throw a quart of 2 stroke oil in it 1 ounce per gal. of diesel

about 30 min or lil less just enough to get them soake the tils that is and get inside the wholes ya know and do a little scum breakin up if you want just try to run that and the oil threw the tank first if ya want to befor you take the injectors out what ever you want to do hell it will only take about an hour an half or so to pull the injectors clean them and put them back in

ive run that stuff through on a pretty regular basis. ill have to try the oil as well before i dive in to removing the injectors and cleaning them. Also im going to clean my sensors as well before the injectors. Are the any special tools needed for injector removal or installation?
