Intermittent miss (lope really)

Postby mhuppertz » Tue Jul 16, 2013 8:55 pm

Need some guesses on what this could be. It started before I replaced the head and I thought the new head would fix it, but it was not to be.
Sometimes it idles perfectly smooth, and sometimes it idles (and off idle also) with something less than a miss.

I don't know what would come and go like that, but has to be the pump or an injector.

Thoughts?

Supply air leak. Cam plate return spring broken(which my 12mm pump just did...again has kinda what you are describing but only after a very hard run). Loose connection at the FSS, or bad voltage supply to FSS. These are only my thoughts, I'm sure there are some smart people on here.......somewhere?

My thoughts go to sucking air somewhere.

A broken return spring or the likes usually cause it to "hunt"

I had a set of injectors do that. They had high mileage. It did just as you described. I changed them out and it really smoothed the idle.
