What a beating of a long thread.
I'm pretty much at the end of my ability I think. I pulled all the injectors tonight, totally disassembled each one. The bottom of the injectors, where the needle pokes through, had carbon built up alittle. Also, several were really filled with carbon between the nozzle body and nozzle holder. Also, below the injectors, in block opening, were round washer-looking things. Removed them and chipped all the carbon from them. I also cleaned all parts of injectors, made sure all openings weren't clogged, reassembled and reinstalled. None of the needle seats "looked" bad, but would I really be able to tell?
Started the car and it still smokes a ton, and seem to have more of a miss than it has had. Drove it around for 5 minutes or so, and it is still really smoking and does seem to miss.
2 or 3 of the injectors, and below the injectors, was really wet with fuel. Clue? or normal...
I can't really afford to go out and buy 5 new injectors anytime soon. Do I just need to park it until I can either buy injectors or take it to a mechanic? I would welcome an opinion on what someone else might do at this point.
Reminder, the smoke is white, it does not dissipate, it floats all the way down the road, and it smells of diesel.
