I have a 37 ft Cruisers with T-D6-370-

i dont think a fuel injector leak could cause damage to a turbo. The turbo pushes more air into the engine so it can burn more fuel with the added air. a fuel leak either inside or outside the motor shouldn't have any affect at all on the turbo. if the fuel isn't getting into the cylinder to burn then it wont create the gases from that cylinder to spin the turbo up to proper speed, but the engine would run really rough if it wasn't getting fuel in one cylinder, same as taking off a spark plug wire on a gas engine.

Black smoke indicates excess fuel during combustion. make sure gate valve on turbo is operating properly as well as having the correct ecm if supplied.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/howard_977676954994c5b2

If you get hot rough idle and stalling, especially on deceleration, accompanied by flooded engine and difficulty restarting, that can be a bad MAP sensor causing the O2 sensor to try to compensate. If you get poor cold driveability, stumbling and bucking, and acceptable warm driving with poor gas mileage (a drop of 10 mpg or more), that is usually the O2 sensor.

sorry but you need to give more details on this one...Turbo/non-turbo? miles? recent service done? fuel gauge operational? Check Engine light on? unfortunately, PT Cruisers are known for engine related problems... email me at [email protected] with the info, see what I can come up with...

Hi, do you have the power steering pump off? Procedure says to take the pump off and move it aside (do not disconnect the lines). It also says to rotate the engine forward. I'm not sure that is necessary, but it may be. See procedure pasted below. Please let me know if you have more questions, and thanks for using FixYa.
