Default What else to look for?

Cold starts idles fine, warms up idles rough/ slight miss. Put in drive/rev. idles fine, drives fine. Have new inj. pump, lift pump, cleaned injector tips. no play at turbo,
good power take off, with slight blk. smoke. Is their something else i need too look at, don't know what! ECM, pressure relief valve?, Thanks

Do not know if this helps, but my overhead is reading 30 miles per gal. (know thats wrong)!

Yup, doesn't matter if the tips are clean, if the injectors bad, those are some of the symptoms. My dad's CTD used to do the opposite.. Run like crap when cold, then when it warmed up, it was fine. Turned out he had a bad injector too.
