Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting can be difficult. The Troubleshooting Index gives a list of possible problems. To make a repair to a problem, make reference to the cause and correction on the pages that follow.This list of problems, causes, and corrections will only give an indication of where a possible problem can be, and what repairs are needed. Normally, more or other repair work is needed beyond the recommendations in the list.Remember that a problem is not normally caused only by one part, but by the relation of one part with other parts. This list is only a guide and can not give all possible problems and corrections. The service personnel must find the problem and its source, then make the necessary repairs.1. Engine Will Not Turn When Start Switch Is On.2. Engine Will Not Start.3. Engine Misfires Or Runs Rough.4. Stall At Low RPM.5. Sudden Changes In Engine RPM.6. Not Enough Power.7. Too Much Vibration.8.

Problem 1: Engine Crankshaft Will Not Turn When Start Switch Is On Probable Cause:1. Battery Has Low Output Make Reference to Problem 26.2. Wires Or Switches Have Defect Make Reference to Problem 26.3. Starting Motor Solenoid Has A Defect Make Reference to Problem 26.4. Starting Motor Has A Defect Make Reference to Problem 26.5. Inside Problem Prevents Engine Crankshaft From Turning If the crankshaft can not be turned after the driven equipment is disconnected, remove the fuel nozzles and check for fluid in the cylinders while the crankshaft is turned. If fluid in the cylinders is not the problem, the engine must be disassembled to check for other inside problems. Some of these inside problems are bearing seizure, piston seizure, wrong pistons installed in the engine, and valves making contact with pistons. Problem 2: Engine Will Not Start Probable Cause:1. Starting Motor Turns Too Slow Make Reference to Problems 26 and 27.2. Dirty Fuel Filter Install new fuel filter.3. Dirty Or Broken Fuel Lines Clean or install new fuel lines as necessary.4. Fuel Transfer Pump At starting rpm, the minimum fuel pressure from fuel transfer pump must be 35 kPa (5 psi). If fuel pressure is less than 35 kPa (5 psi), change the fuel filter. Look for air in the fuel system. If fuel pressure is still low, install a new fuel transfer pump.5. No Fuel To Cylinders Put fuel in fuel tank. "Prime" (remove the air and/or low quality fuel) the fuel system.6. Poor Quality Fuel Remove the fuel from the fuel tank. Install a new fuel filter. Put a good grade of clean fuel in the fuel tank. See Fuels For Caterpillar Diesel Engines, Special Instruction, SEHS7067 and Measuring Diesel Fuel AP1 Specific Gravity, Special Instruction, GMG00977.7. Wrong Fuel Injection Timing Make adjustment to timing. Problem 3: Engine Misfires Or Runs Rough Probable Cause:1. Fuel Pressure Is Low Make sure there is fuel in the fuel tank. Look for leaks or bad bends in the fuel line between fuel tank and fuel transfer pump. Look for air in the fuel system, sticking, binding or defective fuel bypass valve. Check fuel pressure. The outlet pressure of the fuel transfer pump is 230 35 kPa (33 5 psi) at full load speed.If fuel pressure is lower than 140 kPa (20 psi), install a new fuel filter. If fuel pressure is still low, install a new fuel transfer pump.2. Air In Fuel System Find the air leak in the fuel system and correct it. If air is in the fuel system, it will probably get in on the suction side of fuel transfer pump.3. Leak Or Break In Fuel Line Between Injection Pump And Injection Valve Install a new fuel line.4. Wrong Valve Lash Make adjustment according to the Subject, Valve Lash Setting.5. Defect In Fuel Injection Valve(s) Or Injection Pump(s) Run at rpm that causes engine to misfire the most or run the roughest. Then loosen a fuel injection line nut at the valve cover base for each cylinder, one at a time. Find the cylinder where a loosened fuel line nut does not change the way the engine runs. Test the injection pump and injection valve for that cylinder. Install new parts where needed.6. Wrong Fuel Injection Timing Make adjustment to timing.7. Bent Or Broken Push Rod Replacement of push rod is necessary.8. Fuel Has "Cloud Point" Higher Than Atmospheric Temperature ("Cloud Point" = Temperature Which Makes Wax Form In Fuel) Drain the fuel tank, lines, and fuel injection pump housing. Change the fuel filter. Fill the tank with fuel which has the correct "cloud point" and remove the air from the system with the priming pump. Problem 4: Stall At Low RPM Probable Cause:1. Fuel Pressure Is Low Make sure there is fuel in the fuel tank. Look for leaks or bad bends in the fuel line between fuel tank and fuel transfer pump. Look for air in the fuel system, sticking, binding or defective fuel bypass valve. Check fuel pressure. The outlet pressure of the fuel transfer pump is 230 35 kPa (33 5 psi) at full load speed.If fuel pressure is lower than 140 kPa (20 psi), install a new fuel filter. If fuel pressure is still low, install a new fuel transfer pump.2. Idle RPM Too Low Make adjustment to governor so idle rpm is the same as given in the Fuel Setting And
