What color is the smoke? I usually see an increase in black smoke, under
load after about that amount of miles. Dad's pu has started smoking a bit
under light boost so I need to add a little tension to the spring in the LDA
it looks like.
Still sounds like a bad injector. Did you "run" them after replacing or
rebuilding?
I ran the Jetta's injectors today and two were fine. 3 were breaking at
about 2400psi. One was way lower and sounded more like someone
giving a Bronx cheer (raspberry) than the nice, soft pop of the others.
The other bad one broke well, then would pee, break, pee. Looks like
a couple injectors for it and I've done about 6 total so far, in less than
40K miles. :-( Don't always trust that a new nozzle will shoot well,
even if it's a rebuilt assembly. We sent one or two back to the parts
dept over 6 months while I worked at the dealer
