  • Accumulator - New
  • Fuel flow check valves at pumps - New
  • EHA - new
  • Injectors & holders & seals - did those about 10 years ago
  • Fuel filter - new
  • Idle after cold start - perfect! Smooooooth.....
  • idle after a minute or so after warm start - perferct! Smoooooth!

However, even if I press the gas pedal after a warm start the engine vibrates as it picks up rpm. The overall vibration settles down after a minute or so.

A good friend of mine suspects the injector seals. Any other ideas?
