Why Won't My Diesel Start?

What is needed to Diesel Run

There are only three things needed to run the diesel;.

(1) The heat of compression,

(2) fuel at the right time and pressure.

(3) Just crank shaft speed to provide kompresije.Motor also must have enough air.

of diesel in the purist form is a very simple engine.

What makes a diesel hard to start?

• If the fuel is not injected into the cylinder at the exact time the engine will be very difficult for početak.Goriva should be injected before the piston reaches top dead center to create a flame front in the cylinder. Time is critical for proper engine operation.

• If the pressure of fuel injection is not enough engine will be fine. Injection pressure is difficult to test and usually manifests itself only in hard starting, lack of strength, and sometimes smoke from unburned fuel.

• has to crank the engine fast enough to provide the necessary compression, heat in the cylinder ignite the fuel. Many say the problems began with diesel engines can be attributed to poor functioning of the starter.

How can I do it yourselfer to check some of these things?

If you own a diesel, and work on it, it might be worthwhile to invest in tools to set the time of injection. There are many methods of determining the time of diesel. Some older diesels use drip cijev.V.W. diesels us a dial indicator to check the pump piston travel motors on the IDI (indirect injection). Some of Cummings diesels are timed in the same way. Some of the new diesels are timed using a scan tool in order to face each other with the engine management computer.

If you run on diesel, buy a book, preferably in the factory manual.

You can check if all the fuel filters are clean.

You can check that your glow plugs radi.Najbolji I found a way to check glow plugs is to use direct current (DC) clamp amplifier. This is a meter that clamps over the wire and read the amount of current flowing through it. Most glow plugs pull about 9 amps after the initial wave. You can get the exact figure from the manufacturer's specifications. DC amp clamps are much cheaper now than they were in the past. I bought a small handheld device that uses our store for Sears for under $ 50.00. If you are using the initial fluids in diesel with glow plugs it almost always burning glow plugs, even if they are new.

amplifier showing that you purchased to check the glow plugs is a good tool to check the starter. Measure starter current draw and compare it to the manufacturers specifications. Anything beyond these simple things that will require specialized tools and knowledge.
