323001566 - D010 ENGINE IDLE IRREGULAR

The engine idles irregularly. In particular, it does not maintain a constant, regular level with changing load (e.g. consumers switched on) or it is too low.
Test results
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems encounteredOperation

4DIESEL LOW PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check    See Test 1060OB LOW FUEL DELIVERY PRESSURE CIRCUIT CHECKthat the high pressure value is correctMove on to Step 5.Pressure not correct.Move on to Step 6.
5FUEL PUMP CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Using the Examiner check that the fuel pump demand is correct.    See Test 1040AA CHECK ON SUPPLY VOLTAGE AND CURRENT UPTAKEMove on to Step 6.Electric pump defective.Replace the electric pump.    Op. 1040A70 SUBMERGED PUMP ASSEMBLY COMPLETE WITH LEVEL GAUGE CONTROL - R + R
6DIESEL PRESSURE SENSOR ON RAIL CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check correct operation of the pressure sensor on the rail.    See Test 1060GE CHECK ON OPERATION OF DIESEL HIGH PRESSURE SENSORMove on to Step 7.1. Regulator wiring defective.2. Pressure sensor defective.1.Restore the correct wiring2. Replace pressure sensor.    Op. 1060G28 FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR ON FUEL MANIFOLD TO INJECTORS - R.R
7FLOW METER CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check the continuity of the wiring between the engine management control unit and the flow meter.- Check that the flow meter is receiving the correct power supply.    See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT Check that the flow meter signal is correct using the Examiner.    See Test 1060GS FLOW METER OPERATION CHECKMove on to Step 8.1.Debimeter signal incorrect.2.Wiring between flow meter and engine management control unit broken.3.Power supply interrupted1.Replace debimeter.    Op. 1060G10 AIR FLOW METER - R.R. 2.Restore correct wiring.3.Restore correct power supply.
8INJECTOR CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check    See Test 1060OC INJECTOR SEAL TESTthat the diesel leaks from the injector recirculation connections are small (seepage) and roughly equal to one another.- Check that the injectors are working properly by connecting to the engine management control unit in active diagnosisMove on to Step 9.1. Injector with leaks/poor atomization.2. Check the continuity of the wiring between the engine management control unit and the injectors.1. Replace the injector.    Op. 1060F10 FUEL INJECTORS - R.R. 2. Restore wiring continuity
9ENGINE CONTROL UNIT OPERATION CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Replace the engine management control unit.    Op. 1060G80 DIESEL ELECTRONIC INJECTION CONTROL UNIT - R.R and check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosis.The fault persists.Move on to Step 10.
10HIGH PRESSURE PUMP CORRECT OPERATION CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Replace the high pressure pump    Op. 1060E10 DIESEL INJECTION PRESSURE PUMP - R.R. and check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosis.The fault persists.Move on to Step 11.
11CYLINDER COMPRESSION CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Carry out the cylinder compression check.    Op. 0510A10 CYLINDER COMPRESSION - CHECK FOR LOOSE SPARK PLUGS OR INJECTORS End of diagnosis.Cylinder compression insufficient.Move on to Step 12.
12CAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT COMPRESSION CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
- Carry out    Op. 1016C10 SINGLE CYLINDER HEAD - R.R. AND REPLACE GASKET to check the valve seal.- Check condition of cylinders/piston rings.End of diagnosis.1. Valve seal insufficient.2. Cylinder geometry/dimensions faulty.3. Piston rings faulty.1. Overhaul the cylinder head.    Op. 1016E10 SINGLE CYLINDER HEAD, REMOVED - OVERHAUL 2. Restore correct operation.3. Restore correct operation.
