EDIC over inject when running (1 Viewer)

[Giles]

Sorry to be a pest, I do really appreciate all the help my truck is becoming more usable all the time.
I have not had my BJ40 long and it puffs out a lot of black smoke. I read all the old post I can about EDIC arms and now I am totally lost. But I have worked out that it’s in over inject all the time when running. I guess this is why I have a lot of black smoke. How do I get it go into the run position please? Does the engine need to be very hot ? Or is there something else amiss? Wiring is a mess so wouldn’t shock me if that’s the issue.

Pull the edic rod off and the pump will go to the normal fueling position.

If you don't have a copy of the manual for your engine, download a copy from the Cruiser Cult website: B, 3B, 13B-T Engine Manual

Diagnostics etc for the EDIC start around page 274.

Will it stop running if I turn the key off? Do I leave of permanently or just to see if the smoke goes?

Thanks for the manual, I had a read through and just wondering if the fact my oil sensor isn’t wired up could be the problem?

I'm not sure. The EDIC is basically a fuel cut-off solenoid, and I think that on certain engines it will cut fuel if the oil pressure is low. Not sure if that's how it works on the 3B. At any rate I don't see how it could be contributing to your possible over-injection condition.

Have you tried posting in the diesel sub-forum? Those folks know these engines pretty well. The 3B did a appear across various series of Cruisers, so by posting in the 40/55 forum, you're missing out on the 60 and 70-series 3B diesel experts.

I also thought it must be like a switch, stop when the key is off, run when running, so mine is stuck in the starting position or stop. Got to wiring somewhere, maybe back to the ignition

Wise words about the posting in the diesel section, didn’t even occur to me
