Anybody here well versed on the 5.9 12V ?

I moved my fuel plate forward for a little more power and now it won't rev up past 1600 rpm barely idles and I have to hold the fuel pedal 1/2 way down for it to start....I can't imagine anything I could of broke or bent under the AFC, but I manage to jack something up...check fuel pressure and all the linkage and cables.....I'm baffled !!

And YES I put everything back to the way it was and still runs like crap....I must have hurt/jammed something down in the AFC well but nothing looks out of sorts.....Any help out there?

It's been a bunch of years since I cut a 100 plate and it was magical. I don't remember having any problems like you're describing, but check in over at CumminsForum, Competition diesel, or DieselBombers.

The Cummins diesel forum has a lot of good information. I have a 5.9 12V in my Toter, I just rebuilt the motor and doing a few more things to it then I will start on fuel system myself.
One of the sponsors there sells injectors etc and they are good to talk to, very helpful. You may give them a call.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
