12 Cascadia w/dd15 - 540k miles
Problem: looks like its not getting enough fuel mostly at low rpms (500-1100). You would put 100% throttle and ebgine sputters like it wants to die but it doesnt die duribg idle or rolling down the road in neutral. Also noticed same symptoms at highway speeds. Sometimes cuts out for few seconds and then ot gets tge power back.
Only codes I have are for Delta P (411spn) but i have been dealing with that for coyple of weeks so I dont think its a culprit.
It seems as its fuel/air related under a load but it cuts in and out but then again it doesnt die in idle which points me to maybe somethibg with fuel pressure ?
Oil and filters replaced with OEM at Speedco 12k miles ago.
DD15 , fuel/air problem , not constant / need help

Was this the same issue you had before regarding you delta P sensor? The MCM needs to know this pressure difference in order to calculate boost properly and to add the appropriate fueling amount per stroke per given RPM.
Do you have any fault codes? SPN/FMILast edited: Aug 15, 2017
John.doneinone and Emil Baran Thank this. -

Delta P EGR pipe clogged ?
-
That could be your answer. When was the last time you changed your EGR cooler. These go out when the truck's coolant hasn't been serviced frequently enough. Do you notice your surge tank gaining pressure? You could also be sucking in coolant to the intake. THIS IS BAD FOR THE SCR! Best to get it fixed ASAP.

I got the truck with 433k , current is 540k so i doubt it was replaced. As far as coolant I have a leak from Reservoir because i think upper plastic nozzle is cracked( small hose over it) how do I notice surge in the tank ?
What do you think about EGR throtlle sensor ? But then again there would be a code for it. -
On the passenger side of the truck, all you have is an actuator for the EGR. It initializes it's stroke everytime you key on.
EGR coolers are known for leaking...eventually.Emil Baran Thanks this. -
-
This is the EGR actuator (btw I don't know your exact DD engine is..but this is close enough):
Try watching this video...kinda nice if you have blockage.
Emil Baran Thanks this. -
Man to be honest the best fix would be to pull out that DD15 and stuff an older Series 60 in its place.
