It started with dying when I accelerated. Finally found a TPS.
Changed that and the o-ring on the High Pressure oil sensor. Now it cranks and dies after idling enough for the engine to start getting warm, maybe 3-4 minutes No Codes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif

Are you sure it's getting enough fuel? How old is the fuel filter? May be a CPS on it's way out.

Changed the CPS. I follow the routine maintenance with filters and have checked for leaks. Fuel pump appears to be ok.

After cranking and it is idling it revs intermittent then produces white smoke and it shuts down

Check the oil level in the HPOP

 

[SkeeterD]

Not sure how to check that acuately.

It is almost certainly your Camshaft Position Sensor. Mine was doing the exact same thing, I replaced it ( upon the advice of this forum) and the problem was solved.

I installed a new one. Still had the problem. Got another. It cranks fine, will run till the engine starts to warm up. Then dies.
Did an o-ring change on the IPR and have checked the electrical connections to make sure everything is well connected.

You might want to PM Excavator , he may need to help you check you injectors , O rings ect. he can tell you what to look for...

Have you had to add any oil to the crankcase ?....
What did you do with the ICP? ....

After reading this thread I will lean towards you having worn poppet seats. It starts cold and then as it warms up the engine oil is hot and thin and the poppet seats are lossing pressure. I would pull off valve covers and look at the oil spouts when engine is dead cold and then watch as it warms up. You might see some of the oil spouts not spitting oil when it warms up. You could verriy this by using feeler gauge to check armature plate cleaance for out of spec.
