ok guys i start my truck its on high idle sounds great runs good. then when the high idle turns off it makes a knocking sound and smokes like a b!@#$. I was thinking it could be the fly wheel (stupid dual mass!)

What color smoke? Sounds like it could be a bad injector.

If the smoke is gray would that be a bad injector or possibly a head gasket? Cause mine smokes too and not in a good way.

Sounds like an injector is stuck open. The knock is preignition and the white smoke is unburned fuel.
