1994 ford f250 7.3 idi turbo diesel problem
Hello, i have just obtained a 1994 f250 7.3l idi turbo diesel, and when i got it the former owner wasnt running an air filter on it because he was "going to build an intake but never got around to it" the tirbo is very dirty, but still functions. when cold started it will idle Very rough or die, while putting out some white smoke then fading into a blue tint smoke. when it warmsup a little it misses a little, but when drivin down the road it seems fine. anyone have any ideas that could help me fix the problem? io live in new england and would like to get things situated before winter. thanks!!!!

i had a buddy of mine come over and take a look and the turbo seems still great, just a little dirty. were thinking it could use a new fuel filter/waterseperator and a fresh set of glow plugs. we are also going to make a custom intake.

we checked the turbo and it has 0 play, we are just going to give it a good cleaning

The OP just said his turbo was pretty dirty, so I'd be curious to know if the motor might be dusted too
