Hard start injector ???

All the sudden my truck is having a hard time starting. I replaced the CPS, but that did not help. The longer it sits the worse it is. Even if I shut it off, and start it back up right away it is hard to start but not as bad. When it sits overnight when it starts the idel is rough and white smoke comes out for about a minute or two then it smooths out. The oil level is fine as well, so I am not making oil.

OMG!

I was kidding with my wife about my truck, and said you did not put gas in it did you. Guess what she did!

I seohioned out 27 gallons, and drained the fuel filter housing. Then I dumped 1 entire quart of power service in, and 30 plus gallons of fresh diesel. Everything works fine now imagine that.

oil looked fine, but I am going to change it anyways. When I am down to half a tank I will fill it again, and add more power service.

I told my wife she almost cost me $10K. 72 miles were driven like this, and it ran fine when it started. there was about 20 gallons of gas in the tank.

Talk about dodging an bullet.
