How do you check the fuel pressure and the oil for the hpop?? I have a very sick 1996 DIT and want to help it!!! rew's to about 2,000 rpm then the white smoke rolls out and the engines falls off of power fast!!! If you push it to the floor it will clear out then run ok. Local dealer has no idea. this is still stone stock. It has to be sprayed to start in morning, but it will start thru the day ok. Does act as if it misses when starting, but clears out after rew up. This truck ran like a jack rabbit last summer now after the winter it is bad off. Any help PLEASE.............. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

i made my own fuel pressure gauge from a grease gun hose and a regular liquid filled gauge...must be liqid filled... I'm also shimmed thats why mine is high...I took out the shrader valve and placed in an elbow then a quick connect so i can check it easilly any time i need...all for about 20$... Here are some pics of my set up:
