Diesel injectors operate at much higher pressures than gasoline injectors. Dirty injectors will lean out the air/fuel mixture, causing a loss of power, rough idle and sometimes white smoke in the exhaust. Leaky injectors will richen the air/fuel mixture and cause black smoke.
This means that the fuel being injected into the combustion chamber is not being burned properly. In this case, the engine is probably experiencing rough idling both when it is cold and hot, and the problem will come and go. Wear and tear on the piston rings and cylinder walls result in lost combustion.
A plume of white smoke is generally most noticeable at diesel startup, particularly when it’s cold. This is due to the fact that colder air, which is more dense than warm air, lowers temperatures in engine cylinders at the end of the compression stroke. These unburned fuel droplets are exhausted as a white smoke.
