Had a misfire in my Celect Plus so I put all 6 new injectors in. Before this I also had an issue where if the truck would sit for more than 3 days or so, it would crank unevenly and when it would start it would dump a ton of black/gray smoke out the pipes. After the new injectors it runs perfectly smooth again, but it started doing the uneven crank and dumping smoke on startup after it sits for a few days again. Did I just luck out and get another leaking injector out of the box or is there something else that can cause this? It's definitely raw diesel smoke not antifreeze as well. Never did check which cylinder was doing it before the 6 pack, so I won't know whether it's the same one or not.

I was told after I did a six pack, just replace the problem injector due to the poor quality of most Cummins reman parts.
They say clean your ground's, while you will find some corrsion somewhere, I think unhooking battery's and doing a ECM reboot is often what helps?
I've had the out of the blue popping chugging, smoking thing also??
Next time starts normal.
One thing that seems to proceed wierd starts is rushing a start, I count 15 seconds to allow ecm click thru and it seems to help.
They are frustrating little red head girls

It's not really out of the blue, once it's running it runs flawlessly. It's just on startup sometimes after it sits a while
-
I had the same thing. It started after I ran 600 miles with a bad injector. Apparently it washed out a cylinder I was told. After changing injectors, ecm, harness, fuel pump and whatever else, I ended up with a hole in the block .

Well that sucks. I sure hope it's not that because this has 100k on an out of frameBig Road Skateboard Thanks this.

Lol mine had 200k on new engine. That really hurt

Did it stick an injector and kick a pushrod?
-
I never found out what happened, did not want to pay for the labor to investigate

You may have a compression issue, and not a fuel issue.
You're gonna have to isolate the hole first, then diagnose from there. -
I don't think it's a compression issue, for a few reasons. Reason 1 is that it never does it if it only sits overnight. Reason 2 is that the cylinder that sounds "off" when cranking sounds like it slows the engine down rather than a skip. Reason 3 is that when it starts to fire while the issue is present, one cylinder starts hitting before the rest. When I get time I'm going to pull the exhaust manifold and see which one is doing it
