installing my injectors....

You need a scanner or you need to pull the vc's and have a look.

They are swamps 175/30s. Best way I can explain it, if feels and sounds like its misfiring on take off, its chugs

If you dont have access to a scanner just take 20 minutes and pull the valve covers off. Then fire up the truck, first watch to make sure each one is spitting a decent amount of oil out the deflector, then start unplugging each injector one by one. If you find one that does NOT affect the idle like the other ones do, you've found a source of a problem.
This will also give you a chance to throw the straight edge on it again, just to double check.

Unfortunately you cant try it without a chip since you went to singles. I would tell Matt about your issues if you dont find anything, could be something in the tuning

I am betting on a torn o-ring. Also betting on either a boost leak somewhere or a up pipe leak.

A small boost leak will screw with you more the higher your psi gets. I would bet that could be the problem.

Gonna replace the fuel fitlers now. I don't think it will solve the chugging issue though.

The fresh oil did make it idle MUCH better . Hopefully this weekend ill get a hold of a scanner for it

Still chugs, looks like ill be taking the valvecovers off soon to see what's going on

any updates

SouthFlstrokin' · Jan 24, 2012

Not yet other then blue smoke on cold starts. Haven't had a chance to check it out yet

Update, Got it scanned.

Codes 1298 - idm failure

And a cylinder #2 fault.

Derek@Vision Diesel · Jan 25, 2012

Hmm maybe your IDM is getting ready to take a dump.... that could cause some of the issues youve been having. Sometimes cylinder faults dont always mean anything.... you could scan it multiple times and see multiple different cylinder faults

That would explain why when I previously scanned it I had a cyl #8 fault.

Kinda weird I beleive at idle my icp was only around 400 too if I remember correctly

It cant be.... The truck wont even run at 400 i dont believe... its takes more than that to make it fire
