heres the thing....there is blue smoke coming from the exhaust however i notice after really running it fast it gets so hot that steam comes from the engine (not exhaust smoke) I have also gone through 3 glow plugs today!!!!!

As soon as i stop running i put a dab of spit on the head and it SIZZLES right off....not too sure on that tests accuracy though. I am having a really hard time setting the idle and geting it to stay consistent.

The low speed pinch test worked as it was supposed to. I pinched the fuel line and it dies 3 secs later....

Im just trying to get this worked out. thanks everyone.

One side question. I am using a JR XR3 radio. How do i make the truck go into reverse? it says that it has 3 channels. am i missing something here? thanks so much,
John
