The car has been on the road for less then 2 weeks...and as soon as the motor is warm and hits 3000RPM the motor buggs down and stalls...and if i try and start it, it puffs out blueish white, smoke...and it does the same when I step on it. Its really hard to start...

IDI or TDI? :?
How are you judging that the motor is warmed up?
Any more details on your car?

idi, after about 5 to 10 minutes, the car was gas and i converter it to diesel...everything seems to be running fine...however i've notice the motor has been running louder then it was when it was in the other car

Run it out of a jerry can and see what happens

Gas fuel lines are designed to be under pressure, no vacuum. At 3000 RPM there is quite a bit of vacuum going on, which *could* stall the car.
It will eliminate the fuel delivery sytem up to the pump at the least
The motor ran a-ok in the other car?

do you notice it the MOST at low rpm?
Could be fuel delivery is being restricted somehow.
well i mean, it obviously is but maybe the fuel lines are backwards on the filter or something. Run it out of a canister of diesel somehow like burn_your_money said. A jerry can would be very hard to get to fit! I'd use a bottle with a screw on cap, punch a hole big enough for the lines to fit in and strap it down (or wedge it somewhere) and drive carefully (no side to side jerking haha)
I'd do that first see how that goes.

I thought it did it at idle as well, a jerry can would be a bad option then.
How many air bubbles do you have in the feed line?

Did you use the diesel or gasser cat?

that thing must be plugged to death :lol: just running my car for about 10 minutes with a new exhaust pipe has sealed any leaks in the joints, and the inside is coated with thick black soot :twisted: just a bit of 'spirited' driving
