3-3. ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING (cont)
MALFUNCTION
TEST OR INSPECTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
7. ENGINE COMPRESSION TEST (cont)
a.
b.
c .
d.
If compression is high, remove cylinder head and check for carbon deposits on cylinder head
and piston crown (para 3-5g). Also, check (use micrometer) if too much material was
removed from resurfaced cylinder head (cylinder head minimum thickness is 3.968 inches)
(notify general support maintenance) (para 4-2b).
If compression is low, squirt a teaspoon of engine oil into the affected cylinder and repeat
compression test. If compression gage reading increases to near normal, remove cylinder head
(para 3-5g) and check piston rings and sleeves (notify general support maintenance) (para 4-2f
and 4-2a).
If compression gage reading remains low after squirting oil in cylinder, remove cylinder head
(para 3-5g) and check for blown head gasket. If gasket is not damaged, check for burned or
damaged valves and valve seats (notify general support maintenance) (para 4-2b).
If compression is low, and items in steps b and c above check satisfactorily, check for head
gasket leakage due to excessive piston sleeve protrusion (notify general support maintenance)
(para 4-2a).
3-4. FUEL SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
MALFUNCTION
TEST OR INSPECTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. ENGINE IDLE SPEED INCORRECT
Perform fuel injection pump timing and idle speed adjustments (para 3-5a(3)).
a.
b.
If idle speed screw on injection pump does not vary engine speed, replace fuel injection pump
(para 3-6c).
If idle speed screw on injection pump changes engine speed, but will not adjust to correct
value, check accelerator linkage (para 2-15i). If accelerator linkage checks satisfactory, check
fuel pressure (para 2-10) and fuel injectors (para 3-6b). If above checks are satisfactory,
replace fuel injection pump (para 3-6c).
2. ENGINE NO-LOAD GOVERNED SPEED INCORRECT
Perform fuel injection pump timing and no-load governed speed adjustments (para 3-5a(3)).
a. If high speed screw on injection pump does not vary engine speed, replace fuel injection pump
(para 3-6c).
b. If high speed screw on injection pump varies engine speed, but will not reduce speed to correct
value (no-load speed too high), replace fuel injection pump (para 3-6c).
c. If high speed screw on injection pump varies engine speed, but will not increase speed to
correct value (no-load speed too low), check accelerator linkage (para 2-15i), fuel pressure
(para 2-10) and fuel injectors para 3-6b). If above checks are satisfactory, replace fuel injection
pump (para 3-6c).
