We have a 2016 389 peterbilt glider with a MXS C15 Acert factory 625 motor. Ran great until 160k miles. Burnt the injector harness on #4 at the tip where connects to injector. Repaired, lasted a week. Replaced entire inner harness and injector, lasted 2 days. Truck went to CAT dealer replaced entire harnesses inside and out. Lasted 3 weeks. Always #4. This most recent time in the shop they tested fuel pressure, put a new test ecm, truck still skipped. They found the IVA sticking on #3 holding the intake valve closed. Replaced IVA housings, injector and injector harness again. Now the truck still has a miss too it under load and when it’s hot it’s worse. We haven’t had the truck back long enough to see if it burns 4# injector wire again. Does anyone have any ideas or have experienced this before? Also can the IVA holding valve closed cause internal damage? Or could there be internal damage that was the cause of the IVA TO hold it closed? CAT dealers can’t seem to figure it out and neither can we. Thank you

maybe u just need ur injector number 4 changed, seems like you've replaced just about everything else that might cause it

Try running test ecm for a week or so..... it seems like if the wire isn’t chafing and breaking it’s got to be the ecm.....

But for how long..?
And he was vague about the results.... did it burn the wire anyways or could they not replicate the problem.....
Just some thoughts......Intothesunset Thanks this. -

Correction. The IVA WAS HOLDING THE INTAKE VALVE OPEN. Not closed as original posted. Had a brain fart lol
Cat sdp Thanks this. -
When replacing injectors, were the terminal nuts for the solenoid replaced and tightened to spec. I have seen them burnt and arcing before and not cause fault codes.
Cat sdp and Intothesunset Thank this.
