I have a twenty something year old 110 hp Volvo diesel turboed.Smokes quite heavily on startup once running does not want to idle smoothly could this be an injector or glow plug problem?Not sure where to begin.:cold:
Does the idle smooth out when it warms up? Diesels will run rough on start up if a glow plug is dead in a hole, injector is leaking down or its gone/going bad you need to get them POP tested.

She smoothes out somewhat once warm,however the revs will fluctuate 1-200 rpm also my turbo gauge is not operating,presume my first test is to see if there is power to it.I believe the model is aqad 30 a seems there are 4 similar models not sure how to identify it.
The smoke is a grey/ blue color,and yes it does have an odor,the odor changes when I am running under load.Sometimes I see traces of black smoke whil e getting up on plane.Most recently I would get on plane for a few minutes and the revs would drop.I am changing the fuel filter today as I don't think its been touched for a few years.
