| Engine Speed Surges at Low or High Idle | Injector is malfunctioning, Static injection timing is not correct, Fuel pump overflow valve is malfunctioning, Fuel transfer pump is malfunctioning, Fuel injection pump is malfunctioning | Replace the malfunctioning injector, Check the static injection timing when installing the fuel injection pump, Check the overflow valve for correct operation, Remove and test the fuel injection pump, Replace the pump if necessary |
| Engine Will Not Reach Rated Speed (RPM) | Tachometer is not calibrated or is malfunctioning, Engine parasitics are excessive, Fuel inlet restriction, Electronic fault codes active or high counts of inactive fault codes, Programmable parameters or selected features are not correct, Fuel grade is not correct for the application or the fuel quality is poor, Load is excessive for engine horsepower rating, Engine speed sensor (ESS) or circuit is malfunctioning, Overhead adjustments are not correct | Compare the tachometer reading with a hand tachometer or an electronic service tool! reading. Calibrate or replace the tachometer as necessary, Check engine driven units for correct operation, Check the cooling fan for correct operation and cycle time, Refer to Section TF for fault code troubleshooting, Check the programmable parameters and the selected features with an electronic service tool, Set the parameters and features again if necessary, Operate the engine from a tank of good fuel, Reduce the load on the engine, Check the ESS for correct adjustment and for debris on the sensor. Check the ESS circuit, Adjust the overhead settings |
| Engine Will Not Shut Off | Electronic fault codes active or high counts of inactive fault codes, Stop/Run switch circuit is malfunctioning, Engine is running on fumes drawn into the air intake | Refer to Section TF for fault code troubleshooting, Check the Stop/Run switch circuit, Check the ard ine Coat eae a scoeeary |
| Fuel Consumption Excessive | Fuel leaks, Lubricating oil level is above specification, Lubricating oil does not meet specifications for operating conditions, Environmental factors are affecting fuel consumption, Engine parasitics are excessive, Load is excessive for engine horsepower rating, Electronic fault codes active or high counts of inactive fault codes | Check the fuel lines, fuel connections, and fuel filters for leaks. Check the fuel lines to the supply tanks, Check the oil level. Verify the dipstick calibration and oil pan capacity. Fill the system to the specified level, Change the ail and filters. Use the lubricating oil type recommended in Section V, Consider altitude and ambient air temperature when evaluating fuel consumption, Reduce the load on the engine, Refer to Section TF for fault code troubleshooting |
