Why does my diesel engine smoke at start up?

What are symptoms of bad injector pump on 5.9 Cummins?
Some symptoms of 5.9 Cummins injector pump problems include lack of power, not starting, or hard starting. Bad injectors can also cause a knock in the engine. There are two fuel pumps on the 5.9 Cummins. One is a lift pump that lifts fuel from the fuel tank.
What happens when the injection pump goes below 5 psi?
When you start going below 5 PSI, you are not supplying the injection pump with enough fuel to properly drive the injectors, and at the very least, you will experience a loss of power and fuel economy. Some customers will notice the truck “falling on its face” or flat lining with power as the pump simply cannot supply any more fuel.
