Diesel Fuel Injection System Help Desk

Sir Dieseldude,

What's your opinion about using diesel additives that claims that they not only prevents fungal contamination but also maintains the entire fuel injection system at the same time.

Thanks and more power.

Sir dieseldude,

Follow up lang po for my post above. Just had the injection pump of my 4d56 (L300) overhauled and calibrated. All gaskets and o-rings of the pump were replaced and the pump was calibrated.

However, naging hard starting na siya, it would take 2 to 3 tries before siya magstart whereas dati naman ay one click lang ay start na agad. Bakit kaya? Didn't notice this when i was still in the calibration shop, just though I would inquire first with you before I bring it back to the shop.

My 1993 L300 VV diesel has around 113,000km on its odo and according to the mechanic is due already for a complete overhaul because its temp rises during long climbs and when stuck in traffic and there is this weird "tak-tak-tak" like sound coming from the engine.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I cannot comment on this as no brands were mentioned.

From experience, Stanadyne of US makes the best diesel additives.

However, naging hard starting na siya, it would take 2 to 3 tries before siya magstart whereas dati naman ay one click lang ay start na agad. Bakit kaya? Check timing, glow system, air ingress, etc. There are so many causes for a hard start problem. The workshop that serviced your IP should correct this problem.

Temp rise alone does not justify an overhaul. Check accuracy of temp gage, check thermostat, water pump, radiator, etc.

and there is this weird "tak-tak-tak" like sound coming from the engine. This could be fuel knock due to a faulty injector nozzle. Ask around for a 2nd/3rd opinion before considering an overhaul.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Sir dieseldude,

yung mercedes benz 240d AT ko po mausok na po anu po kaya kelangan gwin dun para mawala ung usok nia???

Mahirap sagutin dahil kulang sa detalye ang tanong mo.

Thanks!

thank you sir!. Btw, forgot to mention that this was top overhauled last year and may nakita ng ridge on all four cylinder liners. Could this be the culprit on why it is overheating and that strange sound?

Cylinder wear will result in high blowby, not overheating.

Loosen one high pressure line at a time to validate if a specific injector is causing the knocking sound.

Thank you Sir for your valuable inputs! God bless and more power to you

Hi Dieseldude,

Tanong ko lang sana kung paano ba i-adjust yung idle ng 1KZ-TE na engine bukod doon sa parang set screw na may stopper na nakakabit sa throttle body?

TIA...

Hindi pwede i-adjust ang idle rpm ng 1KZ-TE. Naka preset na yan sa ecu.

Sir Dieseldude,
I have 98 pajero 4d56 tdic m/t, 139k mileage already... Yung sakyan ko po di stable, minsan po pag start tahimik makina at smooth ang takbo at ok ang hatak, minsan naman pag start mapalag makina niya at pag andar di smooth yung takbo parang rough. May itim usok siya pag nabibitin sa akyatan kaya shift to low gear ako at nawawala naman itim na usok. Di naman hard starting one click lang siya at bago rin air filter. Ano po kaya problem? IP timing? Injectors? vacuum? electrical? Thanks po

Yung sakyan ko po di stable, minsan po pag start tahimik makina at smooth ang takbo at ok ang hatak, minsan naman pag start mapalag makina niya at pag andar di smooth yung takbo parang rough. Baka accelerator cable or rod adjustment? Mahirap mag analize ng intermittent problem.

May itim usok siya pag nabibitin sa akyatan kaya shift to low gear ako at nawawala naman itim na usok. Normal ito. Dapat mag downshift ka.

Ok salamat po Sir Dieseldude sa prompt reply, ill have it check po. Tnx uli

Hi Dieseldude,

Thanks for your reply. Wala bang parang BISS screww yung 1KZ-TE na engine na gaya sa 4G92 ng Mitsu? What about yung idle up para sa aircon, may adjustment kaya yun?

Tsaka nga pala, I now rarely use my van, napansin ko na twing gagamitin ko eh may black smoke pagka-start nya,. Mayroon kaya nagdedeteriorate sa engine pag matagal nang hindi ginagamit. Ang ginagawa ko kasi pag hindi nagagamit ay pinapaandar ko naman ng every week ng mga 15mins. Doon lang naman siya sa unang start may usok after nun habang umiinit may parang konting black smoke na lumalabas, yung tipong hindi mapapansin ko hindi pagmamasdan yung tailpipe. Does it mean na marami ang pasok ng diesel? Normal lang ba ito or do I have something to worry about?

Thanks again...

Good day! My nissan patrol 03 diesel was diagnosed diesel pump failure need to be replaced which will cost me 200 k brand new. My friend suggest me just to calibrate it. Does anyone knows best calibration for my patrol. Thanks

[Dieseldude]

Hi Dieseldude,

Thanks for your reply. Wala bang parang BISS screww yung 1KZ-TE na engine na gaya sa 4G92 ng Mitsu? Di ko alam kung ano yung BISS screw.

What about yung idle up para sa aircon, may adjustment kaya yun? Gagana ang idle-up kung tama ang setup ng idle.

He's referring to the base idle set screw. BISS is not applicable to diesel engines because diesel engines do not have throttle flaps (kind'a like a gas engine on WOT) and bypass circuits that control idle air. Diesel engines run by fuel metering.

As for the 1KZ-TE, kung ayaw umangat ng idle when the aircon engages, one or more faulty sensors may be the culprit or worse, something in the ECU itself.

Hi sir,

Thanks for your reply. Ah so ganun pala, parang WOT parati ang diesel engine? Wala naman problema yung idle ng 1KZ-TE engine ko, medyo gusto ko lang kasi babaan yung idle pag naka-aircon. At idle kasi 700rpm siya tapos nagiging parang 850 pag naka-aircon, gusto ko sana gawing 700rpm kahit na naka-aircon. Any solusyons for that?

Thanks

Your idle settings are very very very good IMO. Kung gusto mo talaga babaan, pwede naman through ECU remapping. Kaso if the vehicle were mine, hindi ko bababaan ng 700 on aircon kasi maaapektuhan naman yung lamig ng aircon on idle tsaka hindi mo rin mararamdaman ang fuel savings kung yun ang habol mo kasi sobrang sobrang liit lang ng magiging difference kahit heavy traffic pa. Mas mataas pa nga yung idle ng mga nakita kong nissan urvans on aircon-idle. Parang nasa 900+
