The pin, though, is adjusted all the way in (I had to put it in that far to stop the shakes). A mechanic that I mentioned that to told me because I had to put it all the way in, that might be a sign that my injection pump is going bad.

Now I am really worried. Is this surging at just below full operating temperature a sign that my injection pump is wearing out?

Thanks,

Scott
back out the rack damper bolt till it stops..........that guy was an idiot. They are not supposed to be all the way in.
