DESCRIPTION

Diesel mechanical fuel injection systems differ greatly from electronic fuel injection systems. In this diesel system, a mechanical high pressure rotary pump is gear driven by the camshaft at camshaft speed. Through this method the pump injects a precisely metered amount of fuel into each cylinder at the proper time. The pump is mounted on top of the engine and provides necessary timing advance under all operating conditions.

Eight high pressure fuel pipes carry fuel from pump to an injection nozzle in each cylinder. All 8 pipes are exactly the same length to ensure that there is no variance in timing. Engine RPM is controlled by a rotary fuel metering valve. As the accelerator pedal is pushed down, a throttle cable opens the metering valve and allows increased fuel delivery. A mechanical fuel pump located on the right side of the engine, draws fuel from the fuel tank and delivers it to the injection pump.

Three fuel filters are used to remove foreign material which could damage injection pump. The fuel tank filter screens out water from the fuel and allows it to collect at the bottom of the tank below the fuel pickup. When the water reaches a level where it could be drawn into the fuel supply, a dash-mounted warning lamp is energized. When the lamp is energized, water collected in the tank can be siphoned off at the shut off point. The primary fuel filter is located between the mechanical fuel pump and the fuel tank (mounted on firewall). The secondary fuel filter is located between the mechanical pump and injection pump (mounted on side of engine block). Any excess fuel is returned to the tank by a fuel return system.

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM

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

FUEL TANK-TO-PUMP SYSTEM

Diesel fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by an engine mounted mechanical fuel pump. This pump is driven by an eccentric cam mounted on the crankshaft and puts out about 5 1/2-6 1/2 psi to the injection pump. A small screen type filter is located in the fuel tank at the pickup. Diesel fuel arrives at the center inlet fitting on the injection pump after leaving the filter. A fuel return line is provided to return any excess fuel to the tank.

DIESEL INJECTION PUMP

The high pressure diesel injection pump is mounted to the top of the engine below the intake manifold. The pump is cam driven at speed equal to the camshaft. Because of this, the pump can precisely govern time and amount of fuel injection.

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

Scheme 21: Diesel Injection Pump Injection pump is not serviceable; exchange in case of malfunction.

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 and relay cycle 12 volts to these 6 volt heaters, which causes them to heat rapidly. After the engine starts, the glow plugs remain on for short time then shut off.

Controller failure, as in the case of prolonged preheat (more than 9 seconds of initial glow plug activation), would cause a circuit breaker to open in the controller. When this takes place, glow plug circuit fails to operate completely.

Note. Any attempt to by-pass relay with jumper wire or rewire for manual control 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.

Scheme 22: Injection Nozzle Installation 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 right rear head bolt. The circuit advances injection timing about 4° when the engine is cold.

When engine temperature is below 125°F (45°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 95°F (35°C).

DIESEL FUEL HEATER

This option is used to heat the fuel during low temperature operation, below 20°F (-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 all on-vehicle adjustments, see appropriate DIESEL TUNE-UP article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Note. Trouble shooting charts should be used only after ensuring that the glow plug system is properly installed. Check that all connectors are properly installed and that all connections are clean and tight.

CAUTIONThe following test requires a high impedance ohmmeter (J-29125 or equivalent). 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. Using a magnetic pickup tachometer (Mag-Tach J-26925 or equivalent), adjust engine speed. Turn idle speed screw on side of injection pump until engine idle is at roughest speed. 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. This 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 fuel injection diagnosis. Most cylinders should measure between 1.8-3.4 ohms. If more than .3 ohms difference is observed between 2 consecutive cylinders in firing order, remove injectors and check opening pressure.
  7. To improve rough idle, switch nozzles as necessary. Install nozzles with a higher opening pressure to lower ohm reading, and a 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.

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 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 stopped, indicating pressure increase (nozzle does not chatter) or at which pressure the pressure dropped substantially (nozzle chatters).
  2. The maximum pressure is the 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 34) Release tester pressure.

Nozzle Leakage Test A drop of test fluid may form but not drop off within 10 seconds. Scheme 34

Scheme 34: Nozzle Leakage Test A drop of test fluid may form but not drop off within 10 seconds.

Chatter Test

Note. The sound (chatter) for new and used nozzles may vary. With some used nozzles, the chatter is difficult to detect during slow actuation of the 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.
  4. Replace any nozzle assembly which does not chatter. Release tester pressure.

Spray Pattern Test

This nozzle features a longer nozzle overlap, greater pintle to body clearance and greater needle to body clearance. This assembly also features an internal wave washer between the nozzle nut and nozzle. Because of these features, testing is difficult. A pop tester will not deliver fuel with the velocity necessary to obtain proper spray pattern analysis. Based on the above, this type nozzle should not be rejected for spray pattern.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

Note. Manufacturer does not recommend disassembly of pump. However, the following seals can be replaced with the injection pump installed on the engine. For problems not covered in this article, pump must be removed and taken to an authorized repair station.
