Wont run lots smoke

[illy]

Most days in the last couple of weeks when starting from cold in the morning over the first couple of hundred yards the engine misses one or two beats, yesterday it did it at cold start on tick over, so revved it a bit got lots of white smoke. I thought not changed the fuel filter since last summer so at work today I changed the filter, gave it few pumps on top of filter went and started straight away, put my foot down a bit lots of white smoke and the engine wouldn't have it, 1500 rpm is tops. Left it running 30 mins managed to get about 18-1900 rpm tops. On top of the engine behind the cast pipe with TURBO on it is a what looks like a gold can with a vacuum pipe going into it and a moving arm coming out the other side, this arm seems to stay open. Now don't laugh I work in a garage?!!! but the loosely speaking mechanics because they cant plug a computer in DOH say no more. They only work on Peugeot's. Its been running on proper diesel all winter, and its the last of the old square headlights td model

Any help will be very much appreciated

Clean the mini filter on top of the fuel pump :thumbs

If it still continues I would say to go for the injectors :thumbs

Or, if the problem continues, possibly the turbo

If you need any advice just pm me or carry on posting here :thumbs

I agree, mini filter first stop!

a few members have had a lot of trouble with cheap fuel filters not sealing correctly .... just a ( cheap ) thought

When I fitted a cheap filter there was that much white smoke I thought
there was a new pope.

So with that in mind it could be air getting into the fuel line, common fault is the fuel line rusts and lets air in.
Since the fuel pump is at the engine, then it sucks in air.
You don't always see fuel leaks.
