stalling...? - Diesel Forum

the last week or so after my high idle on cold start is off it have been stalling. starts up instantly after the stall but seems to be idling lower than normal. no air leaks in my fuel windows and i just changed my fuel filter diesel and wvo... wondering if i have an injector not delivering proper fuel or if my IP is going south? or could i just be needing to turn up my idle screw? could it be bio diesel related? im mixing no more than 50/50 in my diesel tank. or wvo guming things up? im runing 80% wvo 20%bio diesel in a all heated set up. everything else seems normal... this isnt a huge issue yet becasue it allways re starts instantly but i dont want it to be worse... thanks in advance yall!

are there any valves (like fsv) that are for the bio-veggie that may be getting clogged? whats the fuel pressure?

not sure what the fsv is. where is it and how do i check it? and what does it do? oil pressure is 15-19 at idle and 40-45ish wile driving. i turned up the idle screw and it seems to run fine and no staling the last few days... we shall see what happens.
