I have a 6NZ 475hp and when under a load it pops thru exhaust. It doesn't lose power and put it on computer and it checks out good. Any ideas? Thanks
What is 6NZ?

I have a 2003 6NZ 550 hp that sounds like it's sputtering under a load (18 psd. In the 5th over +- 15 rpm). It's usually when I'm pulling a hill. Doesn't lose power but doesn't gain it either. Once I start to level out it goes away and I continue to gain speed and power. Would I have the same problem as Mark2842? Maybe an injector trying to tell me something?

Check for a weak cylinder pack mine had one sounded like a slight sputtering when above 1500 rpms on a load. When i inframed motor this spring we found it and no longer does it. But do the simple things first check your injector harness from ecm to the head and then the Plug that goes from outside to inside head then to the injector harness. Wires can get oil soaked and also crack from heat which can create some resistence also wounldn't hurt to look at wiring going to both timing sensors I had lower timimg sensor wire break internally once. I Have gotten into replacing engine wiring when inframing motor. Hope gives some directions in which to look. I have used a old headlight along with a multi meter to load test wires to make sure they are good.

Thanks shovel, makes sense. After as many miles I have on it, I guess the wiring harnesses may tend to get a little brittle. Last year I had a harness that wore through and exposed one of the wires. Ran like crap when it grounded out. Cleaned it up and repaired it and it ran fine.

There good engines , yes. There not the god of all engines. All the E models cat made and even the Bs are just as good and people got just as many miles out of them too. You can say the same for series 60 Detroit and N 14.w9l, little cat 500, AModelCat and 5 others Thank this. -
Its basicly a crank position sensor.Oxbow, snowman_w900, stayinback and 2 others Thank this.
