Rattley, Clackety, Bang, Bang, Oh my, is this the end?
Well,all I did was change the four old (2 bad) for new, Bosch and Beru with attendant fuel line removal.
Pretty straight forward, so no reason for anything to GO WRONG, right??
I primed the lines to the injectors by letting a little fuel flow from each before buttoning them up.
The engine was preheated as my glow plugs were not yet hooked up.
It started right up, a little rough idle and then clackety, bang some pretty harsh noises. Smoke !!
I let it run and it smoothed out, but then repeated this awful noise several times. Smoke!!
I revved it and it smoothed out and then ran rough again.
Finally, after some judicious throttle work it runs smooth.
What on earth caused all of that racket???
Nothing was removed except what necessary to change the plugs.
There was fuel in the lines, I guess.
All plugs drawing about 20 amps each after all of the excitement.
Comments, please.
