Good info. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. It will help me diagnose my smoking issue. Industrial injectors only have about 20k on them and it would smoke slightly and idle rough with a cold start and go away when it warmed up. Now it is smoking a lot at idle. Need to figure it out before driving again.
You are the first guy to explain on the fuel return and what to do i always want to find a video that explains the diagnous DIAG IS WHERE THE MONEY IS AT. THANKS
We have that high return no start problem only starts with petrol perfume blocked injector 5 engine started normally didn't tried another one will send injectors to a mechanic to test , clean and adjust them and report back *edit just send them to tester said 4 was clogged and was sending all diesel to return only 2 was working they just cleaned them , now engine working 1 sec after cranking thanks alot your video helped to identify the issue we can't afford changing them right now maybe in future after they fail completely
Question I have a 07 ram 2500 5.9 cummins 183,000 miles Having issues starting after i stop and go in a store Truck won't start I give a few squirts of spray silicone and it will start. Truck doesnt smoke or idle rough I put a new in tank pump in November. I am stumped Thanks
I have an 05 common rail and have a hard start and I have done the block off one at a time did not crank straight up on each block off…did a kill test on my scan tool and each injector I kill didn’t change the tune of the engine…what am I missing
My lexus is220d is making loud tapping noise and going bad fuel economy. I have new map sensor and after market egr . Can tell me what can cause bad fuel economy .
To test return fuel you remove the fuel line from the back of the head. Hook up a piece of extra line from another truck, cut it and put a long rubber hose on it so you can run the truck for a min with the line in a measuring cup. Then you can go off specs on how much return flow you had
What could cause an early 04 cummins to lope at idle? Will also lope when cruising to a stop. No smoke, truck starts easily hot or cold (1-2 seconds to start). I'm replacing the fca this weekend, but I'm worried it's something else.
@@absolutetow I used my smarty touch to log some data, but nothing stands out (to me or a few others anyways, as I asked on a forum). The rpms don't stagger down when I rev it to 2.5k in park. There's also no codes present (checked with smarty and did the key check too). Forgot to mention that fuel return rates "check out" according to the dealer. Is it possible bad fuel could cause this? I accidentally filled up with shells v power diesel, as I wasn't paying attention and i doubt many people use it, 3 or 4 days later is when I started to notice the lope. It slowly got worse until I added a whole bottle of diesel kleen (thought it wouldn't hurt if I had to replace injectors anyways). Since then, it's been slowly subsiding.
@@michaelboardman8331 did that end up being your issue. Just bad fuel? I have the same issue but when I rev in park it sputters on deceleration back down as well. I’m guna test FCA first
Diesel master I have a question for you my 5.9 12 valve cummins starts up right away runs for about 30 to 45 seconds and then will shut down. This is in mostly cold weather around 30 to 40°. Then I will have a hard time restarting. I have to mash the pedal to the floor and pump also and she will start. Once started she will run fine no smoke. This is a 1995 motorhome diesel pusher with only 67,000 miles.
My ass just hit my stomach while I was working in Miami I had injectors go bad and drove it back to Louisiana killing every mosquitoe on the way . Long story short my 05 is yard art 😭
Pretty sure you got that backwards pal 04 and a half to 07 and 1/2 have the better Pistons they were designed to handle more heat to accommodate the higher exhaust gas temperature that was created due to the third injection event that was added due to smog regulations at the time... just thought I should let you know so people don't think they're 04 and 07 engine the worst are the best five nights ever made
Great video! probably the best breakdown of injectors I've heard on youtube.
Thank you
Finally someone talking sense, great video. Subscribed 👍
Thanks for the video! It helped bring some perspective to my gen 3 long start problem.

No problem
Tks ,mine just went, hope no piston damage ,excellent advice
You are the first guy to explain on the fuel return and what to do i always want to find a video that explains the diagnous
DIAG IS WHERE THE MONEY IS AT.
THANKS
Thank you so much it really did help me
This guy knows what he’s talking about 04.5 on up are ACERT pistons
We have that high return no start problem
only starts with petrol perfume
blocked injector 5 engine started normally didn't tried another one
will send injectors to a mechanic to test , clean and adjust them and report back
*edit just send them to tester said 4 was clogged and was sending all diesel to return only 2 was working
they just cleaned them , now engine working 1 sec after cranking
thanks alot your video helped to identify the issue
we can't afford changing them right now maybe in future after they fail completely
Save yourself the trouble if they are old and change them all
@@absolutetow edited*
Very good info sir thank you
Outstanding teaching. Can you explain what the "third" injector event is please?
Thanks
Garry
I like this guy
520,000 on my factory injectors and CP3...time to start buyin em lol
Dude way helpful
Thank's good job
I think I have a injector stuck wide open I shut it off as soon as I realized it. Hope my piston is fine.

I have a 07 ram 2500 5.9 cummins 183,000 miles
Having issues starting after i stop and go in a store

I am stumped

Its usually 1 or 6 that plug thats why he said that
How do you know which injector is stuck open and dumping . My truck has 600psi cranking tail pressure and thick heavy smoke comming out
My lexus is220d is making loud tapping noise and going bad fuel economy. I have new map sensor and after market egr . Can tell me what can cause bad fuel economy .
Ideas for a return flow test if I'm not having cold start issues. Or long cranks?

Got to get to work my truck is down. Pretty sure I need to start blocking off each fuel line figure out which injector is dumping fuel

I would start by checking everything out on a scan tool. Codes and live data

I would think the problem would show somewhere on live data like fuel pressure fluctuations or something of the sort

@@Zak_Bum_Leg sadly not. i bought new injectors and it solved my problem. i had the old ones tested and they were all over the place.

Unfortunately I've rebuilt hundreds of them. My knowledge is first hand
Where are you located?
Kansas City
Hay how you time this engine
Just line up the timing marks Cam and crank
Am bilding a paccar 5.9 the cam have a dot an the crankshaft has no mark
