Smoke from a Glow Plug...
« on: December 14, 2007, 12:04:27 am »
Me thinks that's a bad thing.  :oops:  But at least I know they are getting power. Those are going to be a pain to replace, aren't they? At least they're only $9 each @ autohausaz.com.

Of course the IP doesn't seem to be sucking up any fuel either. And I think perhaps my radiator is leaking. *sigh*

Looks like I'll be having the poor thing towed to my Dad's tomorrow, so the city keeps their mitts off it.  :cry:   :x

Do any of your injectors leak? You may be getting some diesel on the plugs causing it to burn off. At least that's with my case.

Yippee ... got a call from the city this morning & my reinspection isn't scheduled until Jan 6th. No towing for me.  :P


As for my injectors, I'm not sure. There was no evidence of leakage in the block, or on the block, so I don't think so.
