power loss and smoking when cold

[redking]

my 05 6.0 is smoking and severe power loss when cold, once she warms up it runs fine with lots of power----any ideas?

What color is the smoke?

 

[redking]

blueish white

checked again yesterday and it is all blue, only when cold and only when boost comes up close to 10 lbs, there must be a tech on here that has seen this before?

All blue sounds like oil consumption... trick is from where? Although, if the timing is way off, diesel will burn blue too. How heavy is it? Light tint, or fogging for mosquitoes?

You say 10 psi, is that all you can get, or only to that point?

the more pedal i put to it the thicker the smoke gets, and the boost will still go up with acceleration, that is just where i start to see smoke. but again it runs like a top once warmed up, no lack of power whatsoever

come on guys, one of the senior ford tech's on here must have run into this somewhere along the line, any help would be appreciated

I'm thinking on an injector or maybe ICP...

WELL, i am not a ford tech....but i ate one for breakfast....or something like that..


been there done that. you have (could have) a multitude of issues. i went thru the same boat: turbo(s), egr(s), harness(s), egr cooler and - wait for it wait for it- head gasket(s) issues.

i'd suggest find a good dealer you trust, take it in, have them test drive, pressure test injectors, and everything else and they SHOULD give you the result. either way, doesn't sound good for you.

good luck, let us know
