Hey Guys! I really need some help.
In October I made a post about a hot start issue I was having. When the motor was warm it would take 10-15 seconds to start. With the cold winter I haven't had any time to track down my issue. It's been below zero the majority of the winter.
I've noticed a few other weird symptoms while driving the truck the last few months. Such as:
-Rough idle, gets worse when in park.
-Rough high idle (I've had the driveshaft balanced, new tires, and the crank & flexplate were balanced together when motor was rebuilt)
-I seem to peg my EGT's too quickly. With 3/4 throttle in 30 degree weather my EGT's will climb to 1600 degrees in my economy tune. (Bad atomization?)
-Hard start when engine is warm. (This symptom only shows up if it's warmer than 50 degrees outside.)
-When truck is at operating temp and idling I notice a slight whitish-blue haze coming from the exhaust. I really only notice this when parked under the lights at the gas station.
-My ICP pressure seems to be a little low, running around 2400 @ full throttle.
Do you think all these issues are stemming from a High Pressure leak somewhere? Any leak down testing techniques to help pinpoint this?
I finally have a warm place to work on the truck and want to get this problem fixed once and for all.
Thanks so much guys,
Andrew
