After 20 hours of troubleshooting, we still havent got a clue of whats wrong...
My 4runner (1kzt 3,0L Turbo Diesel)starts fine, but after 3min of idling, its smokes(unburnt diesel) and idles pretty rough. Mechanic said that it loses compression on 2# cylinder and doesnt run on this until you run the engine warm. You kinda have to drive off the rough running. Its hiccking on lower RPMs at all times. No smoke when proper warm
Compression test (Cold engine) Cylinders:
1# 16 bar
2# 15 Bar
3# 17 Bar
4# 17 Bar
Even lower compression on Cylinder #2 when warm
Cylinder leak down test came out more than fine 2 times. You cant hear or feel any air it seems
This doesnt make any sense???
When the enigne was rough idling, we loosend fuel injector lines, one at the time. It had no effect on #2, but the others were affected. Injectors, Valves, fuel pump and Cam are all checked. Its seems the cylinder cant combust properly. It gets fuel, but cant combust it, hence the unburnt diesel smoke
The problem started after change of cylinder head. I have no idea why it was changed, but it didnt have many miles (15000miles) on it when it was. Its a Yoyota after all.
Maybe the cylinder has damage from a breakdown? Something happend and they changed the head? Its weird when the rough idling occurs 2mins after start up
