Want this question answered?
A torque plate is the cheapest, but having a diesel performance shop adjust the injection pump and install new governor springs is a great mod.
To turn the injection pump up you set it to TDC static timing by rotating the pump. It is adjusted by an Allen screw on the lower side of the pump.
A chip or programer, but get a FASS fuel system first it will save you injection pump one day.
If its a Diesel, its probably the Diesel Stop switch. Located on the Diesel Fuel Pump.
Where the injection pump is mounted to the timing gear housing; there is three bolts or nuts holding pump in place; you need to loosen them alittle. once you have you can move the pump. just remember it doesn't take much to advance the pump. you want to turn the pump to the right.
Standing in front of the truck you would turn the pump to the drivers side to retard the timing. your would turn it to the left
all u got to do is turn the set scerw in a half turn
A diesel engine miss results from one or more cylinders not burning fuel properly. This is caused by injection system problems which include Faulty injectors Clogged fuel filters Incorrect injection timing Low engine compression Injection system leaks Air leaks Faulty injection pump Excessive black smoke is caused by a rich air-fuel mixture. This may result form problems with the injection pump or infection timing, which may in turn be due to a choked air cleaner, worn fuel injectors, adulterated diesel fuel or the engine itself.

I had the same problem on my truck, turned out to be the injection pump, it gets to the point where it can't hold a vaccuum. Try this - pour like a gallon of room temperature water over your injection pump, if it starts then, it's the pump. (the little bit of water mixes with the fuel and allows the diesel/water to mix and be pumped, and the ratio of water/fuel isn't detrimental to your truck. have fun!
you don't turn fuel up on a f250 diesel. just go buy a power chip that is easiest and most reliable way to get better mpg and performance.... it depends on the older models (i.e. the idi engines) you have to remove the door on the injection pump and turn the Allen screw clockwise be carefull you can burn up the motor by turning it up to far. i recomend if you don't have a pyrometer only turn it up 1/4 of a turn
dirty oil in system not drained from previous pump
