New diesel owner, help with diagnosis

[hillfolk'r]

the teachers in tech school told us that one back in the day,taste test,,,, i been goin back to my posts and fixing my spaces ,when time allows,,,,,,if you think an injector is leaking around the threads,cause of messed up heat shield or somethin,,just like a flat tire,,get a spray bottle of soapy water,,bubbles are bad

I did crack all the injectors and there was a considerable drop in rpm for each injector. My fuel tank has a leak, I checked to see if it was around the lines but it didn't look to be.

also i forgot to add that it started up fine when the engine was cold but after it had warmed up it would start again.

.....Is there a typo in that last line?

yes there is, i'm a retard. it wouldn't start again.

but i got a new tank today and am going to put it in tomorrow.

I put a new fuel tank in. didn't help the problem but I did create a good brake leak.

I figured I would check the injection timing so i bought the tools. So I took off the valve cover and took the plug out of the trans and set the fly wheel to TDC and I noticed the slot in the end of the cam wasn't parallel to the head and I checked the pump and that wasn't on mark either. so I pulled the belt lined everything up then checked the pump timing and it was in spec. (.038 inches) put everything back togther and it started right up and ran great.thanks again for all the hlp.

yeah, except the 80 I spent on the timing tools. but I am sure I'll get more use from them.
