So where did the washer go?
I dont see how you installed the flux's and forgot to install 1 washer but when you removed them to didnt notice you were missing a washer but all the washers were present when you put the stockers back in and running good.
Ive been seeing more and more Flux problems especially 03-04 and I dont want to go through the same nightmare. My Mach 5's installed easy and was an awsome injector with zero problems on my 99 but there always seems to be something or another going wrong after an injector swap on these CR's.
So has anyone installed a set of Flux 1.8-2.0 in a 03-04 and had zero problem's with nothing but goodtimes and 100 more hp.
I can just see my truck sitting at a shop for 1 month for an injector install.

my flux's went in great, except for when tightening the injector hold down bolts, I accidently sheared one off. luckily I was able to get it replaced.
truck still runs like a top, idles great, awesome power, and I dont regret the purchase at all!

Results!
I found the washer it came out with one of the stock injectors. So it must have been on the injector when I first installed it.
I finally got everything back together and everything runs great now. Lots more power.
Two things I noticed. When starting sometimes, initally the starter sounds normal but after a crank or two it spins faster then back to normal and then starts. And when it sits for a while i get some white smoke on start up. But if it runs a for a few seconds and I shut it down and start again there is no smoke. Is this just because they are bigger injectors?

I spoke too soon. I have about 200 miles on them and all has been great. But just after I wrote that last post i went to get fuel and this is what happened.
Rail pressure stays good when under 25 psi. But you can see what happens after. RP goes to 540 and it has no power then slowly builds back up.
Here is a link to a video I posted on youtube

This is a video of what it sounds like when I start it. Notice how the starter spins faster

Any ideas?

I also have codes P0202 Injector #2 Control Circuit, P2146 Bank 1 (Cylinders 1-3) Shorted High Or Low, P2509 Ecm/pcm Power Input Signal Intermittent.
Could that be a loose connection on an injector?

There really should not be any white smoke on start up.
I had a thought. When the stock injectors went back in with the double stacked copper washers I wondered if the connector tube could have been tweaked enough to cause a high pressure leak?

My wifes truck ( a 07 QC ) is complete stock and smokes white when first started in the morning. That's even when using the heater grid. Guess it may depend on where you live and how cool is gets overnight.

Yep, the 04.5 and up trucks can smoke on start up, even stock. There have been ECM updates from Chrysler to remedy this.
The 03-04 235, 250, and 305 engines are rare to smoke at start up when stock. Even with 1.8's.

How would I check the connector tubes, just pull them and put in new ones? I still hold 26k at wot with the injectors, tnt on 7 and a little pressure from the x2 and stock pump. Its been 40-60 degrees out so not cold, and its only smoke white for a few seconds when I first start it when it has set for a few hours.
