help!rough idle/smoke!sometimes?
1992 300sd. runs smooth, idles good. valves alittle noisey @ idle. no smoke. other times idle rough almost a skip, and smokes unburnt diesel. have bad wiring harness? will that effect timing or fuel delivery, or bad injector. comes and goes? any help would be appreciated.

Timing and fuel delivery are controlled by timing chain. Checked stretch lately?

Some things to consider:
Valve adjustment Have injectors inspected/cleaned/Diesel Purge Rack damper adjustment You can search for these and find a number of threads...

Is the rough idle consistent with cold or hot engine temps? Valves, chain, ip timing, I think, would cause constant problems hot and cold. I would suspect filters first, injectors second. Try cracking injector lines at idle and see if idle is affected. If idle is consistently rough when an injector line is loosened, switch that injector with another and see if the problem follows that injector. But you should check the other things mentioned as well and post back.
