Good evening all
I’m completely stumped here.
On my HZJ76, which I’ve had basically since “new” (full story here: Ali, the 2008 HZJ76 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ali-the-2008-hzj76.1272844/), quite suddenly I’m experiencing severe smoking and hesitation. The engine has 16,000km on the odo.
No major maintenance was performed, no major “event” (eg overheating) occurred beforehand. Oil change a few weeks and approx 1K km ago.
What may be pertinent info:
1) refueled almost empty tank with 60L diesel a few days ago (but basically immediately before noticing the smoke today, hasn’t been driven in the interim)
2) replaced air filter and fuel filter after smoking started.
Tomorrow I’m planning on getting Liqui Moly and running it through but I have a hard time believing bad diesel could be SO bad.
The smell is not coolant-sweet, but diesel or oil - stinky and unpleasant for sure.
Any brilliant ideas to help me ease my pain in the meantime?
