83 idi smoking problem
 

ok i got a 83 6.9 about 3 months ago that had been sittin for about 3 1/2 years, it was parked due to a smoking problem whne i got it home i started work on it i pulled the return govener to see if it was cloged, it wasnt, i bought a set of injectors threw pennsacola and new return lines, still smoked and had a slight miss at times. one day we were just lookin at it and thought about timing so we back the bolts off the pump and advanced it and it all but quit smoking. but over the past few weeks it has started again. hazing at idle and slight smoking while driving.

i few things im gona try and let me know if yall agree.
new thermostat posable stuck open
pull pump and reset time
posable new injectors. pensacola becoming questionable


any other help would be great not really lookin to make a power house of a truck just a good reliable truck , i have cut out the soup bowl i put a 5 inch exhaust on it just to free it up not to '' blow smoke" plus it sounds amazing lol but i really would like any imput at all and thanks in advance

where are you located? the pump needs to be properly timed with a meter to be correct. also how old is the pump?

IM IN NORTH CAROLINA. WAS NOT AWARE OF HAVING TO TIME WITH METER, AND AGE OF PUMP IS UNKNOWN, I HAVE READ THAT BETWEEN 70K AND 100K GET A REBUILT PUMP. THE TRUCK HAD A LIFETIME PUMP THREW THE FORD DEALER BUT IT HAD TO BE THREW THE ORIGINAL OWNER WITCH WOULDNT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE MY TRUCK WAS A ONE OWNER BUT DIDNT KNOW THIS BEFOR SENT TITLE OUT ..

any other kinda imput on any of the problems im havin, im goin on vacation next week and spending the whole week workin on my truck and wanting to get these things panned out

could be the POS pensocola injectors. any pump shops around you that could test them for ya?

yea been thinkin bout that , was just talkin to my cousin about it matter of fact. i didnt see all the bull about there injectors untill after i bought them , so ill see bout gettin that done ive heard that years back they had good injectors and pump but now there stuff aint the best , but still have great customer service, but ill check on that
