    That’s good pressure.

    Yes she has got the fuel, just no spark. ECM spark.

    Did you get anything sorted out with that odd noise coming from the ECM area?

    Just pulled out the #1 injector and the bottom o-ring is basically gone. What was left is brittle. Going to try o-rings next.
     
    SAR Thanks this.

    Is the engine getting fuel in the oil or coolant if the o-ring is gone?

    You mentioned you have good fuel pressure.

    Removing the injectors often times will ruin old o-rings.

    While you are that far in, take all the injectors out and have them tested. New o-rings. If the customer is fine with that.

    I can't find anyone local that tests electronic injectors. The local Cat dealers (three different locations)gave me the following answers { our machine burned up, no returned call after several attempts, and then we just do a cutout test while the truck is running.} A diesel injection shop said they do not know of anyone local that tests them and another big shop said they know of no one that does it as well.
    The o-ring that was partially there was very brittle. I will probably try the o-rings and see how it goes.

    The one Cat location that did not return my calls finally did and said they can check them for me. It is up to the customer now.

    Well heck the guy just called me and said he is just going to park the truck again. Oh well... I appreciate all the help. Guess we will not find out if it will ever crank.
     
    Shawn2130, SAR and 062 Thank this.
