  Fix: 1. Remove fuel injection pump and make necessary repairs to governor. 2. Refer to Paragraph D. 3. Refer to Paragraph F. 4. Check fuel injection pump. 5. Recondition valves.
• Engine overheats.
  Cause: 1. Cooling system faulty. 2. Radiator core coolant passages Clogged. 3. Radiator air passages clogged. 4. Fan drive belts loose. 5. Thermostats inoperative. 6. Engine oil cooler clogged. 7. Improper engine lubrication. 8. Water pump malfunctioning.
  Fix: 1. Refer to Paragraph F. 2. Clean and flush radiator. 3. Remove debris from radiator core. 4. Adjust fan drive belts to proper tension. 5. Test the thermostats for proper operation; replace if necessary. 6. Clean or replace the oil cooler core. 7. Refer to Paragraph G. 8. Repair or replace the water pump.
• Engine hard to start.
  Cause: 1. Incorrect starting procedure. 2. Batteries weak. 3. Insufficient fuel in fuel tank. 4. Incorrect grade of fuel. 5. Clogged fuel filters. 6. Fuel injection nozzles not operating properly. 7. Fuel transfer pump not operating properly. 8. Air in fuel system.
  Fix: 1. Follow correct starting procedure. 2. Recharge or replace batteries. 3. Check fuel level in tank. Fill with specified fuel if necessary. 4. Drain fuel system. Fill the tank with the specified fuel. 5. Replace filter elements. 6. Test and repair or replace nozzles 7. Test and repair or replace fuel feed (transfer) pump. 8. Refer to Paragraph D.
• Engine emits bluish-white smoke from exhaust.
  Cause: Engine operating temperature too low.; Fuel injection nozzle valve - stuck in open position.; Low compression.; Early fuel injection pump timing.
  Fix: Check thermostat.; Test and adjust nozzles.; Make compression test and necessary repairs.; Test and adjust.
• Engine detonates or knocks.
  Cause: Fuel pump improperly timed.; Loose bearings.; Loose piston.; Loose flywheel.; Improperly adjusted valve(s).; Foreign material in cylinder(s).
  Fix: Check and adjust.; Replace bearings.; Inspect piston assembly. Replace parts required.; Check tightness of flywheel bolts and dowel. Tighten/replace parts required.; Check and adjust.; Clean and make necessary repairs.
• Starter will not crank engine.
  Cause: Batteries weak.; Cables and/or connections loose or corroded.; Starter switch inoperative.
  Fix: Check batteries.; Tighten all loose connections and clean corrosion from all terminals.; Replace switch.
• Rapid wear on engine parts.
  Cause: Dirt admitted with intake air.; Dirty lubricating oil.; Improper fuel.
  Fix: Inspect air cleaner body, pipe, connecting hoses, gaskets, etc., thoroughly for cracks or openings which would allow air to enter engine without passing through air cleaner. Make necessary repairs.; Change engine oil and the lubricating oil filter elements at the intervals recommended. Keep oil clean when filling engine.; Use the proper fuel. It is important that the fuel be within the specified limits for ash, carbon, sulfur, etc. to prevent excessive wear on engine parts.
• Insufficient fuel supply to fuel injection nozzles.
  Cause: No fuel in fuel tank.; Inoperative fuel feed (transfer) pump.; Fuel injection nozzle valve binding in valve body.; Clogged fuel filters, fuel lines and sediment bowl on early engines.; Fuel injection pump malfunctioning.; Fuel injection nozzles improperly adjusted.
  Fix: Fill fuel tank with specified fuel. Prime fuel system.; Repair or replace feed (transfer) pump.; Replace valve assembly in nozzle holder body.; Clean fuel system components, replace fuel filter elements.; Replace fuel injection pump.; Adjust fuel injection nozzles.
• Insufficient air supply to cylinders.
  Cause: Air cleaner clogged.; Foreign material lodged in turbocharger impeller or turbine.; Excessive dirt buildup in compressor or turbocharger.; Excessive dirt buildup in compressor in short period of time.; Leaks in engine intake and/or exhaust manifolds reducing turbocharger efficiency.; Turbocharger bearings seized.
  Fix: Replace air filter element.; Disassemble and clean.; Thoroughly clean compressor assembly.; Clean compressor assembly, and service air intake system for leaks.; Tighten loose manifold retaining capscrews. Replace manifold gaskets.; Overhaul turbocharger.
• Engine will not start (cont).
  Cause: 4. Insufficient supply of fuel to fuel injection nozzles. 5. Fuel injection nozzles not operating properly. 6. Fuel injection pump improperly timed.
  Fix: 4. Refer to Paragraph D. 5. Test and repair or replace nozzles 6. Time fuel injection pump.
• Engine stops unexpectedly.
  Cause: 1. Out of fuel. 2. Restricted fuel supply. 3. Broken or loose fuel lines.
  Fix: 1. Fill fuel tank with specified fuel and prime the fuel system. 2. Check fuel system. 3. Correct or replace affected parts.
