I have a cummins ism in the shop and the complaint is a hard start when hot. i have only been able to duplicate the problem 4 times after running the engine for an hour, shutdown and it will crank for 10 to 15 seconds and fire up sometimes misfire a bit but usually run fine. the truck has brand new injectors and fuel pump. When issue is present and it won't start i have 150psi of fuel pressure out of the pump. Anyone ever come across this? I am going to try a test ECM tomorrow

i keep thinking must be a fuel issue must be a fuel issue but 150psi while cranking is plenty of pressure, when it won't start engine cranks at 350rpms. No faults. Seems to have some blow by which is something i need to measure, but again only happens when hot and not everytime
-
also engine has egr and vgt actuated turbo, both have been checked
-
nothing??
-
do you have the insite program? are there any fault codes?
-
I'm not sure if the shutdown solenoid is before or after the compuchek fitting, but this is something that will act up when hot versus cold. Might be worth a try.
lovesthedrive Thanks this. -

theory is when ECM gets hot connections in the ECM expand
-
well that wasn't the problem haha, blow by is in spec as well
