2002 CH613 E7 460 Injectors


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I've owned this truck for roughly 6 months and its always had a bit of a miss at idle. well the other day it gave me a lightning bolt light and the blink sequence was 8-4 meaning a fault in injector #4. I am wounding if I'm going to need to replace just the injector or the Fuel Injection pump for that injector as well? how would I diagnose that? Also if anyone has and links to previous posts on injector replacements or any other tips and tricks toque specs would be very much appreciated. I am just getting my Excavation Company off the ground and going this summer and this is my main dump truck/work horse that drags my Hoe around so I need it back up and running asap.

I don't believe there is any fuel mixing in the Engine oil

Opinions?

Any thing I am missing maybe? 

Is there any special tools I will need?

I have replaced Injectors before but not in a heavy truck only in a 2006 24v cummins common rail 1 ton truck.

I did the oil test and I don't think I see any fuel in the oil. this pic was taken 12 mins after. I will probably send a oil sample away anyways just to be sure. oil was just changed 600ish km ago.

Check the wires coming to EUP.. they tend to run against the engine and short out, and they can crack as well.  Start there, and keep your wallet closed while we guide you.. 

If the wires look good, check the big plugs on the EECU for pin damage.

If that is good, you can swap #4 EUP, with another, easy to get to, EUP, and see if the code follows the EUP.. if you do remove the #4 EUP. Pull the roller lifters out and inspect the roller,  guide pin and cam lobe....  Jojo

And the spring! Thou usually a physical problem will not thru a code! The wiring is suspect as Joe states ! The Eup its self may be fault ! As a Note!  if you do end up changing the Eup you should install  the new Cal code eched into the new  pump to optimize the run of the Engine!  You may have to go to the dealer for this !

If they remember how to do it!  This stuff is getting to be dinosaur like ! 

 

Just sayin!

I didn't think of checking wiring, I will defiantly start there! I guess the truck is 20 year old very possible the wiring is cracked, the truck has the classic leaky exhaust studs so maybe the connection's are dirty i will check it out tomorrow. thanks for the guidance i really hope i can keep my wallet closed on this one.

I've seen other posts of the worst case scenario where the spring failed and wrecked the cam lobe, i hope its the wiring like jojo suggested. thanks for the reply's ill keep you guys updated and be sure to post the fix if I find it

If you do end up removing the eup, install new bolts and o rings ..the bolts tend to break.. specially if never been changed.As  mentioned above , pull the eup roller and check the protrusion of the roller guide pin... attached is an image of the roller  pin almost flush with the eup housing wall,it made the roller spin and trashed the cam .. this is my on my cousin's truck , it had a miss and blink  code for the eup. Hopefully yours is not that bad. Just my two cents

I haven't had the chance to pull #4 out to inspect it but I did notice that it is the only one that has rusty terminal ends so fingers crossed that that's the cause of it. also instead of pulling #4 out would it be possible to pull the oil fill off the side of the block and put my inspection snake camera in to take a look at the cam lobe and roller?

 

1st is #4 

2nd is #3 thats in like new condition

3rd photo is the oil fill right beside #4

Yes to guide pin location.. the plug goes into the fuel gallery..  with a bore scope, you se the oil pump drive gear..  drop the oil pan and look up to get a good view of the cam. The oil pump is in the way of #3+#4..

Go to the mack e media site..on the search box input the part number of the repair manual that Joey showed on his picture (5-106).it's gonna take you to another screen where it tells you that it's 30$...click on the part number again , which is underlined..then it will take you to another screen which lets you view the file for free.Download it to your phone or PC in PDF format.This works for many manuals .Look on eBay for the manual and once you find the part number go to mack e media and see if it can be downloaded for free.Cant beat free when starting out !😂

ok so i got the chance to clean up the connection's on #4s eup. As you can see they where pretty shitty and corroded. i hit them with a wire brush and brake cleaned them then reconnected and fired it up and i let it idle at 650rpm (low idle) for a good 15-20 mins and i didn't hear or feel the miss. i cranked it up to 1000rmp for another 10 mins and still nothing, idled just fine with no miss. Im really hoping that this was the problem. Im going to drop the oil and see if i can send my inspection camera into the drain hole to inspect the cam for damage as a precautionary measure, otherwise ill drop the pan as you advised. i also sent a oil sample away to check for metal shavings and it should be back early next week. ill update when i know more

Thanks for the insight and help with my issue here guys i really appreciate it.

Good call on cleaning the contacts..  as far as a scope in the oil drain plug..  that's a no-go..  oil pump pick up is in the way...  Looks like you gotta remove the 30 nuts and bolts..  sorry.. however, this gives you a chance to look really good at the bottom end..

well i got the oil sample back and there is no metal particulates or any sign of the cam/roller being damaged. code hasn't came back since i cleaned the connection's until this morning when i started it up it coughed a bit and started shitty then it threw the code at me again. shut it down and checked the blink code fired it back up and it was gone again. thinking its the eup itself that needs replacing
