SLEDOG Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have a 2007 Mack Granite with the AI-460 motor. It started to develop a slight miss so I changed both fuel filters. Didn’t notice much difference. now the motor will cut out completely for a second and come right back usually a couple times a day. It never seems to happen under heavy load and seems to pull fine on the hills. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Joey Mack Posted October 27, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 27, 2022 Grounds.... ACC. Relay... fuseable link at the batt. box.... Electric instant shut down or slow death...? does it start right back up?? Codes???? 9-2 for example...... jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEDOG Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 JoJo- No codes…shuts down for second only…it does it in cruise as well…. grounds should be good but I’ll double check. I haven’t checked acc relay… sledog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEDOG Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Onyx- i can’t rule out fuel restriction…. probably need to get a gauge and long hose so I can tap fuel pump and rig it up in the windshield right? sledog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 That would be a good start and monitor fuel pressure while driving and when the issue occurs. Joey will be better on this then me so I’ll just stand back and watch. I don’t want too many ideas thrown at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 fuel pressure can cause a cutout, but I would expect a weakening or a slow death,, I think he said it picks back up.... so,, you may very well be right.. definately check fuel pressure during the test runs... jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Id say check that but def listen to Joey. He’s got you, if I see anything along the way that sticks out I’ll holler! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx610 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I’ll have to go back and read to what all we talked about and see if anything could possibly correlate to the issues your having now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I believe you checked fuel pressure then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 @Joey Mackany possibility of engine position or speed sensor? Monday I’ll check the aset book for this symptom. I’ll post pics of any pages I find any value for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEDOG Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 I never get a guage and actually check pressure Onyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 the sensor test can be done buy wiggling the wires while its running to see if it cuts out.. you can also unplug one at a time to see if it cuts out.. un plug one, if it stays running, plug it back in, then go to the other one and do the same.. Yes it will throw codes.. but at leaste you know what they are.. you can check codes before you do this test just to see whats logged..

SLEDOG Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Joey Not sure I totally understand sensor test. Are you saying it should stay running when I unplug one at a time? And if it does they are both good? sledog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) yes it will run on one or the other... if you unplug one and it shuts off... the other one is bad...... 2 sensors.. one on the right front for the cam, and one on the left at around 10 o'clock on the flywheel housing..

SLEDOG Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Joey yah motor shut off when I disconnected cam sensor. looking to get a new one for bell housing now thanks a million!! sledog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Good deal... Easy free way to test them... You will have stored codes for the sensors.. make sure the wires on the truck side of the crank sensor are in good shape.. follow the wire about a foot or so from the plug.. they rot and break, and that may be the whole problem anyway... jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a break in one of the wires and maybe a bump in the road quick move it enough to cut out briefly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
