The engine starts, with difficulty and then immediately cuts out suddenly
Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation

Check, in order:

  • that there is no water, other fluids or dirt in the fuel filter
  • that there is no water, other fluids or dirt in the fuel tank
  • that there are no obstructions in the drainage system
Continue to Step 1There is water, other fluids or dirt in the fuel filterReplace the filter element
There is water, other fluids or dirt in the fuel tankClean tank
Obstructions in the drainage systemReplace the damaged system component
1CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket

Recreate the conditions in which the problem occurs and check:

  • for errors in the control unit
  • plausibility of all the parameters
Continue to Step 2Errors detected in the control unitContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
unreliable parametersContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Lack of dialogue with the control unitRestore the correct connections See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
2CHECK FLOW METERAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the condition of the flow meter and the pipes connected to it.Continue to Step 3Pipes damagedRepair the pipe; if necessary replace it
3EGR SOLENOID VALVE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check it is working properly. without sticking or intermediate stops. for the solenoid valve.(This can be done by removing the valve from its position and releasing it from the pipes, leaving the electrical connection, however, in place; at this point, operate the active diagnosis stage using the EXAMINER to check that it is working properly)Continue to Step 4Solenoid valve damagedRepair the solenoid valve and, if necessary, replace it Op. 1080C24
4THROTTLE SOLENOID VALVE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check it is working properly. without sticking or intermediate stops. for the solenoid valve.(This can be done by removing the valve from its position and releasing it from the pipes, leaving the electrical connection, however, in place; at this point, operate the active diagnosis stage using the EXAMINER to check that it is working properly)Continue to Step 5Solenoid valve damagedRepair the solenoid valve and, if necessary, replace it Op. 1060G72
5HIGH PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment to the diagnostic socket.Check as described in the test See Test 1060D Check high pressure fuel circuit that the diesel pressure parameter is correctContinue to Step 13Pressure too highContinue to Step 8
Pressure too lowReplace the pressure regulator Op. 1060E50 then continueContinue to Step 5
6CHECK ON RETURN LOW PRESSUREAll OKProblems metOperation
Check as described in the test See Test 1060A Low return fuel pressure circuit check that the pressure in the return pipe to the tank is under 1 barContinue to Step 7Pressure above maximum limit (return pipe to tank blocked)Repair the pipe; if necessary replace it.
7LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check as described in the test See Test 1060B Low fuel pressure supply circuit check that the diesel pressure between filter and radial jet pump is between 2 and 3 bar.Continue to Step 13Pressure below minimum limit or above maximum limitContinue to Step 8
8LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Choke the return pipe from the pressure regulating valve and repeat the test See Test 1060B Low fuel pressure supply circuit check with the pipe choked, checking that the pressure at the filter outlet is below 2 barContinue to Step 9Pressure rises to 5 bar: blocked pressure regulation valve on filter supportReplace the valve Op. 1044B16
9LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the difference in pressure upstream and downstream of the filter is less than 1 barContinue to Step 10Difference in pressure greater than 1 barReplace the fuel filter cartridge Op. 1044B16
10LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the supply pump pressure at the filter inlet is over 2.2 barContinue to Step 13Pressure below 2.2 barContinue to Step 11
11LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Measure the difference in pressure between electric pump outlet and filter inlet and check that it is less than 0.3 barContinue to Step 12Difference in pressure over 0.3 barReplace the pipe
12LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check as described in the test See Test 1040AA Check supply voltage' and absorption current' that the pump's supply voltage is 12V and that the absorbed current is between 2 and 10 amps.Continue to Step 13Voltage < 12 VCheck wiring, intervention on connection cables See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
Current > 10 Amp: pump defectiveReplace the fuel pump assembly Op. 1040A70
Current below 2 amp.: jet pump blockedReplace fuel pump assembly Op. 1040A70 and clean the fuel tank
13CORRECT OPERATION CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Replace the DRV high-pressure regulator and check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisFault persistsContinue to Step 14
14CORRECT OPERATION CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Replace the pressure pump and check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisFault persists: control unit faultyReplace engine management control unit Op. 1060G80
