Okay, I have a new pump and injectors installed on this fine piece of machinery now, it was rough starting but it finally took off. It idles fine just sitting right between 800-900 RPM's. Even at Idle it is blowing alot of white smoke and have a check engine light. When you put it in gear and let out the clutch the idle gets very erratic between 500-900 RPM's while the clutch is coming out. It will coast just fine but when you hit the go pedal it is not dead but there is no power either, you have to load it up just so it doesn't die. It will go down the street but it is weak and on the road it blows the white smoke through.
I know the first thing needed here is the codes it's throwing but I'm scared to drive it the 15 miles to town to have them checked.

 

Are you sure your injection pump timing is correct?

 

I didn't think you could control timing on these, so to answer your question not sure at all.

TELL ME HOW, NOW, I NEED TO KNOW

 

Did you use the "Key" that was attached to the new pump or the one from your old pump when you did the reinstall?
The "Key" has the same number on it that's on the new pump.
This, from what I understand, is you initial pump timing.
The computer takes over from there.

 

Yes the key on the pump shaft is exclulsive to the injector pump. did you replace the pump with out taking off the front cover?

 

I did use the key that came with the new pump. The only thing I took off the front cover was the plastic piece that connects to the oil overflow tube and of course the big nut and lock washer.

 

fuel quality???

 

Ok when you installed it dii you clock the pumpshaft to the the old one was? What i like to do myself is clock the pump shaft then install the pump put the nut on and give it a couple turns then take the nut off and take a mirrior and check to see the the key is sliding into the gear properly. Why were you replacing the pump to begin with?

 

My old pump was totally shot, I was using cold water for restarts.
You lost me on clock the pump shaft. When my kid pulled the old pump off the key was on the bottom and so to get the keyway to the top he said he bumped the starter to rotate it up, if that makes a difference.

 

WOW i hope the gear didnt jump when you did that. when you pop that pump out the gear kinda just lays there and really shouldnt be disturbed. that why it take both pumps and stand them on end and put the key in position as close as i can to the old one. You may have the timing off

 

You aint tellin me nothin I wanna hear, so now what pull the whole thing apart again and start over.

 

At this point you may have to pull front cover off the motor. i cant remember being able to check timing marks any other way. unless someone else can shed some light or has a trick to do so. And if you do that plan on getting a new front crank seal.

 

Well heres my chance to check for the KDP problem I'v wondered about for years.

 

KDP?

 

The Dowel pin under the gear cover that has a tendency to fall out and jam things up. Suppose to have been fixed in the 99 models but there has always been debate about it. If you put KDP in the search bar you'll get more info than you could read through in years.
