smoking cold

[nuthugger]

I have a 92 that seems to smoke excessivly cold. Goosing it in neutral it sputters and smokes the worst. Accelerating through mid rpm range will do the same. I can short shift it to keep it from smoking. Once it warms up the smoking goes away. This is my first ctd so I do not know much about it other than it has the rotary bosch pump. Otherwise it seems to be ok power wise.

you need to get your injectors checked sounds like their leaking off probably good idea to check fuel pump pressure also

TSB Solenoid!! Make sure the supply wire is still attached. Vibration can cause it to loosen and fall off. Loss of the timing advance (it's function on a cold engine) will do exactly what you are experienceing. Had it happen to me when I first got my truck. Eventually found the problem, with the help of this forum. Fixed the wire - problem GONE! Oo.

I will check into the ksb wiring Thanks. The truck idles great on cold start and it is not hard to start, and in matter of fact it starts too easy in my opinion for 200,000 but I am used to seeing diesels in Mercedes and VW's.

You have exactly the same symptoms I did not too long ago. Turned out to be a bad temperature switch that controls the KSB solenoid.
