72352 - B20 ENGINE STARTS AND CUTS OUT STRAIGHT AWAY

The engine starts normally, though possibly with difficulty, then suddenly stalls
STEPOPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUTTEST RESULTS
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check the following, in order:

  • no water, other fluids or dirt in the fuel filter
  • no water, other fluids or dirt in the fuel tank
  • fuel
  • no obstructions in the catalytic converter
Move on to Step 1. Water, other fluids or dirt in the fuel filter1. Replace the filter element
2. Water, other fluids or dirt in the fuel tank2. Clean tank
3. Catalytic converter obstructed3. Replace the catalytic converter
1CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket.Re-create the conditions under which the fault occurs and check:

  • that there are no errors in the control unit;
  • parameter plausibility
Move on to Step 1. Errors detected in control unit1. Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
2. Parameters not plausible2. Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
3. No communication with the control unit3. Restore the correct connections (Wiring Diagram ) E5050 DIESEL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
2HIGH PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket.Check that the diesel pressure parameter is correct as described in < R1 >     Continue following the instructions in the test 1060D Injector high pressure fuel circuit checkMove on to Step Pressure not correctMove on to Step
3LOW RETURN PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check as described in < R1 > that the pressure in the return pipe to the tank is less than 1 bar    Continue following the instructions in the test 1060A Low pressure fuel return circuit checkMove on to Step Pressure greater than maximum limit (return pipe to tank blocked)Repair the pipe and replace if necessary
4LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check that the diesel pressure between the filter and radial jet pump < R1 > is between 2 and 3 bar.    Continue following the instructions in the test 1060B Low pressure fuel supply circuit checkMove on to Step Pressure below the minimum limit or above the maximum limitMove on to Step
5LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Constrict the return pipe, downstream of the low pressure regulation valve, and carry out < R1 > again with the pipe constricted checking that the pressure at the filter outlet stays below 2 bar    Continue following the instructions in the test 1060B Low pressure fuel supply circuit checkMove on to Step Pressure rises to 5 bar: pressure regulator valve on filter mounting incorrectly adjustedReplace the valve    See in Op. 1044B16 Fuel supply/return adjustment valve on fuel filter - R.R.
6LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check that the difference in pressure upstream and downstream of the filter is less than 1 barMove on to Step Difference in pressure more than 1 barReplace the fuel filter cartridge    See in Op. 1044B16 Fuel supply/return adjustment valve on fuel filter - R.R.
7LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check that the supply pump pressure at the filter inlet is more than 2.2 barMove on to Step Pressure below 2.2 barMove on to Step
8LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Measure the difference in pressure between the electric pump outlet and the filter inlet and check that it is less than 0.3 barMove on to Step Difference in pressure more than 0,3 barReplace the pipe
9LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check, as described in Test < R1 > that the pump supply voltage is equal to 12 volt and that the current absorbed is between 2 and 10 Ampere    Continue following the instructions in the test 1040AA Check the supply voltage and the absorption currentMove on to Step 1. Voltage lower than 12 volts1. Check the wiring at the connection leads (Wiring Diagram ) E5050 DIESEL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
2. Current greater than 10 Amps: pump defective2. Replace the fuel pump assembly    See in Op. 1040A70 SUBMERGED PUMP ASSEMBLY complete with level gauge - R.R.
3. Current less than 2 Amps: Jet pump blocked3. Change fuel pump assembly < R1 > and clean tank    See in Op. 1040A70 SUBMERGED PUMP ASSEMBLY complete with level gauge - R.R.
10CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Replace the DRV high pressure regulation valve and check that the fault is no longer presentFault persistsMove on to Step
11CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Replace the high pressure pump and check that the fault is no longer presentFault persists control unit defectiveReplace the engine management control unit    See in Op. 1060G80 Diesel electronic injection system CONTROL UNIT - R.R.
