start with the basics:

- air filter
- use fuel-injector cleaner
- try changing your fuel-filters
- make sure your idle-screw isn't set too low

then consider more advanced troubleshooting
- check compression
- check fuel pump + injectors
- check fuel lines & flush them out

there are other stuff you can do but try the obvious stuff first.

-wash out air filter, breeze works great.. (spin dry before reinstalling)
-change fuel filter (gets dirty quickly)
-add good injector cleaner (no cheap stuff)
-if idle rough on startup, glow plugs could be bad..

Make sure to use a tablespoon of Oxyclean on the wash cycle, to help get your whites whiter, and at least 20ml of fabric softene..... wait, wrong thread.

:mrgreen:

But yeah, you can wash your regular paper filter (just be VERY gentle when agitating it in soapy water)..... and make sure you let it spin dry (if it's a tube-style filter) or just put it in the hot sun for 2-3 hours.

worse case scenario: broken cylinder ring. we had the same problem, spent thousands of $$$ to sort out problem with no results. opened engine and found one broken ring

That must have been destroying the oil also!
