I’ve been having this issue in my main swap thread. Basically, I had the motor rebuilt, along with new injectors. Before the rebuild, the engine ran fine, though every couple weeks it would randomly die on me at highway speeds. I rebuilt it because the belt slipped and the valves got messed up, while it was apart, we found out piston #2 had melted.
Anyways, it won’t start without the glow plugs, it’ll start to catch but barely run, throttle doesn’t do anything except keep it from stalling. After like 30 seconds it’ll smooth out enough to idle, but it’ll blow white/blue smoke and miss really bad, the whole engine shakes. There’s a noticeable bog when I stab the throttle.
I’ve replaced the fuel tank, fuel filter, fuel filter housing, injectors, and there’s fresh winter diesel in the tank. I’ve bled the system countless times. I’ll leave a few videos up and hopefully we can figure this out. The last thing I can think of is replacing the injector pump as I know it leaks a bit.
This is how it starts, sorry the video is sideways.
