Possibly either low compression in one cylinder or an injector/injection pump problem? Color of smoke (white/gray/black?)

A video might help diagnose this, can you shoot one?

you have to "pop test" it. That requires a test set-up to do adjustments. About 1,700 psi on the injector. It is not good to fool with injectors unless you are set up to adjust them.
