COMPONENT TESTING

Note. Specific component testing information not available. Refer to any tests performed during REMOVAL & INSTALLATION or OVERHAUL procedures

DESCRIPTION

General Motors 6.2L engine uses a mechanical high pressure rotary pump, gear driven by camshaft at camshaft speed. It injects a precisely metered amount of fuel to each cylinder at the proper time.

A mechanical fuel pump, mounted on right of engine, pulls fuel from fuel tank through a primary filter. Fuel is pumped through a secondary filter mounted on firewall (pickups) or rear of air cleaner (vans) to the injection pump. High pressure fuel lines carry fuel from pump to 1 injection nozzle in each cylinder. All fuel lines are the same length to ensure that there is no variance in timing. Engine RPM is controlled by a rotary fuel metering valve. As accelerator pedal is pushed down, throttle linkage opens metering valve to allow increased fuel delivery.

Note. Secondary fuel filter is mounted on firewall (pickups) or rear of air cleaner (vans).

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM

Intake manifold is always open to atmospheric pressure. Intake manifold has a single inlet for drawing air through an air filter assembly mounted above. Manifold consists of 8 branches, one leading to each cylinder.

DIESEL INJECTION PUMP

The high pressure diesel injection pump is mounted at top of engine below intake manifold. The pump is gear driven by camshaft at camshaft speed. Pump precisely governs time and amount of fuel injection.

A built-in fuel pressure regulator and transfer pump picks up fuel at pump inlet, pushing it through a passage to the pump head. The pump head distributes fuel at transfer pump pressure (8-12 psi) to metering valve, governor and automatic advance mechanisms. Fuel then passes to rotary fuel metering valve and into a charging passage. As pump shaft rotates, fuel is directed at high pressure through each delivery pipe to an injector. Pump is not serviceable and must be exchanged in the event of a malfunction.

Scheme 15: Diesel Injection Pump

Note. Pump is serviceable as a complete unit, only.

FUEL INJECTION LINES

Eight high pressure fuel injection lines are routed from injection pump to an injector in each cylinder. The lines are of equal length but are bent differently to maintain equal length, prevent any difference in timing from cylinder-to-cylinder and aid installation. Lines are not interchangeable and are pre-bent by the manufacturer.

GLOW PLUGS

Glow plugs are threaded into each cylinder combustion chamber. Glow plugs are small heaters that assist in cold starting. The glow plug controller/relay (mounted on top-rear of engine) cycles 12 volts to these 6 volt heaters, which causes them to heat rapidly. After the engine starts, glow plugs continue to cycle on and off for about 25 seconds, depending on coolant temperature.

Note. Any attempt to by-pass relay with jumper wire may result in glow plug failure.

INJECTION NOZZLES

Each engine cylinder combustion chamber is equipped with 1 injection nozzle. The injection nozzle has a single fuel inlet fitting and 2 fuel return fittings (1 on each side of fuel inlet fitting). The nozzle is threaded into the cylinder head. Injection nozzles are spring loaded and calibrated to open at a specified fuel line pressure. The combustion chamber end of the nozzle has a replaceable compression seal and carbon stop seal.

Injection Nozzle Installation. Scheme 16

Scheme 16: Injection Nozzle Installation

Note. Last nozzle on cylinder bank has 1 fuel return fitting plugged.

VACUUM PUMP

Vacuum to operate accessory systems on diesel vehicles is provided by a vacuum pump which is located at the rear of the block and driven by the cam. The engine should never be operated without the vacuum pump in place as it is also the oil pump drive.

HOUSING PRESSURE COLD ADVANCE (HPCA)

The HPCA circuit is used to improve cold starting and aid emission control. The circuit is controlled by a temperature switch located on rear of right-hand cylinder head. The circuit advances injection timing about 4° when the engine is cold.

When engine temperature is below 95°F (35°C), the circuit decreases housing pressure from 10 psi to zero. At the same time, the fast idle solenoid is activated. When the temperature switch opens, the HPCA circuit is de-energized and housing pressure rises, retarding pump timing. The temperature switch will close again when engine temperature falls below 85°F (30°C).

DIESEL FUEL HEATER

This option is used to heat the fuel during low temperature operation, below 20°F (B 5°C). This prevents wax crystals from building up and blocking the fuel filters. The heater is located along the right side of the intake manifold and uses a resistance wire spiralled around the fuel line.

ADJUSTMENT

Note. For on-vehicle adjustments not given here, see TUNE-UP SERVICE PROCEDURES article.

Scheme 17

Scheme 17: VACUUM REGULATOR VALVE (AUTO. TRANS. ONLY)
  1. The vacuum regulator valve provides vacuum signals to control transmission shift points. Vacuum setting of valve should be checked periodically, using the following procedure. Engine MUST NOT be running during this procedure.
  2. Attach vacuum regulator valve snugly to fuel injection pump. Switch body must be free to rotate on pump.
  3. Attach vacuum source of 20 in. Hg. to bottom vacuum nipple. Insert vacuum regulator valve Gauge Block (J-33043-2) between gauge boss on injection pump and wide open stop screw on throttle lever (switch on position). see scheme 5: Vacuum Regulator Gauge Block
  4. Rotate and hold throttle shaft against gauge. Slowly rotate vacuum regulator valve body clockwise (facing valve) until vacuum gauge reads 8 F.6 in. Hg. Hold valve body at this position and tighten mounting screws.
  5. Check by releasing throttle shaft allowing it to return to idle stop position. Then rotate throttle shaft back against gauge block to determine if vacuum gauge reads within 8 F.6 in. Hg. If vacuum is outside limits, reset valve.

Scheme 19: Glow Plug System Diagnosis (C/K, R/V, G, P)

Glow plug system charts should be used only after ensuring that glow plug system is properly installed. Check that all connectors are correctly installed and that all connections are clean and tight.

The PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS chart provides a quick procedure for determining if a problem exists in the glow plug system itself, or elsewhere in the electrical system. (Scheme 20) This test should always be completed before proceeding with the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS chart. (Scheme 21)

GLOW PLUG RESISTANCE TEST

CAUTIONThe following test requires a high impedance ohmmeter. Select scale values as follows: Left-hand switch - "OHMS" position; Right-hand switch - fully counterclockwise (200 ohms); Slide center switch - left position ("DC-LOW")
  1. Start engine, turn on heater and allow engine to warm up. Remove all electrical feed wires at glow plugs.
  2. Use a magnetic pickup tachometer to adjust engine speed. Turn idle speed screw on side of injection pump until engine idle is roughest. About 860 RPM is desirable, but do not exceed 900 RPM.
  3. Allow engine to run for 1 minute at roughest idle. Thermostat must be open and upper radiator hose hot.
  4. Attach jumper wire between voltmeter ground lead and engine lift point on left side of intake manifold. DO NOT use any other point for ground connection. Ground wire must remain in position until all tests have been completed.
  5. Check resistance by touching positive lead of voltmeter to glow plug terminal (with engine running). Record value obtained in firing order sequence (1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3).
  6. If ohm reading on any cylinder is about 1.2-1.3 ohms, make a compression check on that cylinder before continuing diagnosis. Most cylinders should measure 1.8-3.4 ohms. If more than .3 ohms difference exists between 2 consecutive cylinders in firing order, remove injectors and check opening pressure.
  7. Improve rough idle by switching nozzles. Install nozzles with higher opening pressure to decrease ohm reading, and lower opening pressure to raise ohm reading.
  8. Repeat procedure to confirm idle improvement. Be sure to check glow plug resistance at the same idle speed both times. If no improvement is observed, injection line replacement or injection pump calibration may be necessary.

GLOW PLUG CONTROLLER

A faulty controller/relay assembly may result in excessive white smoke in exhaust and/or poor idle immediately after starting. The following procedure checks for proper operation of controller circuit.

Note. Engine coolant temperature must be below 80°F (27°C) before beginning test.

  1. Turn ignition to "RUN" and allow glow plugs to cycle. Wait 2 minutes, then turn ignition to "CRANK" for 1 second and back to "RUN". Glow plugs should cycle on at least once. If glow plugs do not cycle as described, proceed to step 2.
  2. Disconnect controller connector. Connect 12-volt test light between harness connector terminal "B" (Purple wire) and ground. With ignition in "RUN" position, test light should be off. With ignition in "CRANK" position, light should be on.
  3. If test light does not operate as described, repair short or open in engine harness Purple wire. If light operates properly but glow plugs did not cycle in step 1, replace controller.

INJECTION PUMP HOUSING FUEL PRESSURE

  1. Remove injection pump and drain all fuel. Connect an air supply line to fuel inlet fitting. Be sure air supply is clean and dry.
  2. Seal the return line fitting. Completely immerse pump assembly in a container of clean test oil.
  3. Apply 20 psi (1.4 kg/cm 2 ) to pump. Leave pump immersed for 10 minutes to allow any trapped air to escape. Watch for leaks after 10 minutes.
  4. If no leaks are noticed after 10 minutes, reduce air pressure to 2 psi (.14 kg/cm 2 ) for 30 seconds. If there are still no leaks, increase pressure to 20 psi (1.4 kg/cm 2 ) again.
  5. If no leaks are observed, pump is serviceable. If leaks are observed, pump must be exchanged for replacement unit.

INJECTION NOZZLE

WARNINGWhen testing nozzles, keep spray contained to avoid serious injury. DO NOT allow injector to release line pressure on hands, arms or any part of body. Pressure of atomized test spray has sufficient penetrating power to puncture flesh.

Test Preparation

  1. Remove injection nozzle from engine. Clean carbon from tip area of nozzle with soft brass wire brush. DO NOT use steel brush or motorized brush to clean nozzle tip. Damage to nozzle tip may result.
  2. Connect nozzle assembly to injection nozzle tester. Close tester shut off valve to pressure gauge. Fill tester with test fluid. Fill and flush nozzle assembly with test oil by operating tester lever briskly and repeatedly. This purges air from nozzle and coats all parts with test fluid.

Opening Pressure Test

  1. Open tester shut off valve to pressure gauge 1/4 turn. Slowly depress tester lever and observe pressure gauge. Note pressure at which needle stops, indicating pressure increase (nozzle does not chatter) or at which pressure drops substantially (nozzle chatters).
  2. Maximum pressure is opening pressure. Lowest acceptable pressure is 1500 psi (105 kg/cm 2 ). Replace any nozzle which does not meet lowest acceptable pressure. Release tester pressure.

Leakage Test

  1. Open tester shut off valve to pressure gauge an additional 1/2 to 1 1/2 turns. Blow dry nozzle tip. Connect a short piece of clear plastic tubing to each fuel return fitting on nozzle.
  2. Slowly depress tester lever until pressure gauge reads 1400 psi (98 kg/cm 2 ). Maintain pressure for 10 seconds and observe nozzle tip.
  3. Replace nozzle assembly if drop of test fluid drops from tip within 10 seconds. A drop may form but not drop off within the specified time period. (Scheme 22) Release tester pressure.

Nozzle Leakage Test. Scheme 22

Scheme 22: Nozzle Leakage Test

Chatter Test

Note. The sound (chatter) for new and used nozzles may vary. With some used nozzles, chatter is difficult to detect during slow actuation of hand test stand lever. Some nozzles may chatter louder than others. As long as there is chatter, the nozzle is acceptable.

  1. Close tester shut off lever at pressure gauge. Slowly depress lever of manual test stand noting whether chatter noises can be heard.
  2. If no chatter is heard, increase speed of lever movement until it reaches a point where the nozzle chatters. At fast lever movement, the nozzle may emit a "hissing" or "squealing" sound rather than the normal chatter. This is acceptable.
  3. These sounds indicate that the nozzle needle moves freely and that the nozzle seat, guide and pintle have no mechanical defects. Replace any nozzle assembly which does not chatter.

Spray Pattern Test

The injection nozzles used with this system have several features which make pattern testing difficult, i.e. longer nozzle overlap and greater pintle to body and needle to body clearances than other nozzle types, and an internal wave washer between the nozzle nut and nozzle. Typical injector testers cannot deliver fuel with sufficient velocity to obtain proper spray patterns. Therefore, this type nozzle should not be rejected due to spray pattern.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
