m1010 white smoke wont stay running

[rick martin]

My m1010 smokes white when running. But wont stay running long enough to warm up.43000 miles on it no loss of coolant. And no signs of coolant in oil.any suggestions where to start looking.

Glow plugs aren't lighting off, and possible air leak in the fuel system.

On a diesel engine the cause of white smoke can indicate incorrect timing. And the most common cause in addition is water leaking past the head gasket, or (hopefully not) a crack in the engine block.
You might also check the antifreeze and or any additives that might have created acid in the cooling system.
A good flush out and then 'appropriate additives' commonly found for slight leakage could stop the problem.

a bad IP can do the same thing so start there. it is your timing source for the motor and your fuel delivery for which it sounds like you have problem with both.

if it starts at all then you normally have some glow plugs working, maybe not all. you also may have a bad controller not letting them glow long enough or after glow. There is a temp sensor to check for this and trouble shooting instructions for the cards.

check glow plugs and solenoid. then fuel before and after IP, No fuel at iP then start working your way back until you find fuel.

a bad fuel pump can produce the same symptoms.

Changed fuel pump last winter but that dosent really mean anything the way parts are today

It will start but once it stalls it takes quite alot of cranking to restart

I would put a temporary piece of clear hose in place of the I.P. return line. This will show if your getting air into the system.

I had a Carter lift pump fail after only 11 months. You could see fuel leaking from around the sides where the lower metal section wraps around the upper aluminum part. The AC Delco replacement has been going for 4 1/2 years now.

Have you tried cleaning the IP return check valve on top of the IP? If the check valve gets clogged your engine won't stay running.
