Nice find, funny that's all it was after everything else. Goes to show us. I think the white smoke threw us all off. But maybe just enough fuel makes it past the shutoff plunger to make a tiny bit of smoke, even when that solenoid is not powered. No excuses, we shouldn't have overlooked it!
Glad you got it going, nice work.
Good opportunity while it's out of the car to refresh any old tired hoses, maybe the timing belts, etc... AND maybe any repairs to the old and probably crumbling wiring harness, which may have been the reason for no power making it to that IP solenoid.
