OPERATION
High-pressure fuel is supplied from the injection
pump, through a high-pressure fuel line, through a
steel connector and into the fuel injector. When fuel
pressure rises to approximately 31,026 kPa (4,500
psi), the needle valve spring tension is overcome. The
needle valve rises and fuel flows through the spray
holes in the nozzle tip into the combustion chamber.
The pressure required to lift the needle valve is the
nozzle opening pressure. This is sometimes referred
to as the ªpopº pressure setting.
Each fuel injector is connected to each high-pres-
sure fuel line with a steel connector (Fig. 11). This
steel connector is positioned into the cylinder head
and sealed with an o-ring. The connectors are sealed
to the high-pressure fuel lines with fittings (Fig. 11).
The ferrule (Fig. 11) on the end of the high-pressure
fuel line pushes against the steel connector when the
fuel line fitting is torqued into the cylinder head.
This torquing force provides a sealing pressure
between both the fuel line-to-connector and the fuel
connector-to-fuel injector.The fitting torque is
very critical.If the fitting is under torqued, the
mating surfaces will not seal and a high-pressure
fuel leak will result. If the fitting is over torqued, the
connector and injector will deform and also cause a
high-pressure fuel leak. This leak will be inside the
cylinder head and will not be visible. The result will
be a possible fuel injector miss-fire and low power.
The fuel injectors use hole type nozzles (Fig. 12).
High-pressure flows into the side of the injector and
causes the injector needle to lift and fuel to be
injected. The clearances in the nozzle bore (Fig. 12)
are extremely small and any sort of dirt or contami-
nants will cause the injector to stick. Because of this,
it is very important to do a thorough cleaning of any
lines before opening up any fuel system component.

FUEL INJECTOR (Continued)

Always cover or cap any open fuel connections before
a fuel system repair is performed.
Each fuel injector connector tube contains an edge
filter (Fig. 13) that breaks up small contaminants
that enter the injector. The edge filter uses the injec-
tors pulsating high-pressure to break up most parti-
cles so they are small enough to pass through the
injector.The edge filters are not a substitute for
proper cleaning and covering of all fuel system
components during repair.
The bottom of each fuel injector is sealed to the
cylinder head with a1.5mmthick copper shim (gas-
ket) (Fig. 12). The correct thickness shim must
always be re-installed after removing an injector.
Fuel pressure in the injector circuit decreases after
injection. The injector needle valve is immediately
closed by the needle valve spring and fuel flow into
the combustion chamber is stopped. Exhaust gases
are prevented from entering the injector nozzle by
the needle valve.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐFUEL INJECTOR
TEST
The fuel injectors are located in the top of the cylin-
der head between the intake/exhaust valves (Fig. 14).
A leaking fuel injector can cause fuel knock, poor
performance, black smoke, poor fuel economy and
rough engine idle. If fuel injector needle valve does
not operate properly, engine may misfire and produce
low power.
A leak in injection pump-to-injector high-pressure
fuel line can cause many of same symptoms as mal-
functioning injector. Inspect for leaks in high-pressure
lines before checking for malfunctioning fuel injector.
WARNING: THE INJECTION PUMP SUPPLIES HIGH-
PRESSURE FUEL OF UP TO APPROXIMATELY
120,000 kPa (17,400 psi) TO EACH INDIVIDUAL
INJECTOR THROUGH HIGH-PRESSURE LINES. FUEL
UNDER THIS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE CAN PENE-
TRATE SKIN AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. WEAR
SAFETY GOGGLES AND ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING. AVOID CONTACT WITH FUEL SPRAY
WHEN BLEEDING HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LINES.
WARNING: DO NOT BLEED AIR FROM FUEL SYS-
TEM OF A HOT ENGINE. DO NOT ALLOW FUEL TO
SPRAY ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHEN BLEED-
ING AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM.
(1) To determine which fuel injector is malfunc-
tioning, run engine and isolate each cylinder using
DRB scan tool.The DRB scan tool lists the injec-
tor firing order in both cylinder numerical
order (1±2±3±4±5±6), and actual firing order
(1±5±3±6±2±4).
(2) Note RPM drop for each cylinder. As an alter-
native, loosen high-pressure fuel line fitting at fuel
injector connector tube (Fig. 15). Listen for a change
in engine speed. After testing, tighten line fitting to
40 N´m (30 ft. lbs.) torque. If engine speed drops,
injector was operating normally. If engine speed
remains same, injector may be malfunctioning. Test
all injectors in same manner one at a time.

(g) If any of these conditions occur, replace injec-
tor.
(2) Thoroughly clean fuel injector cylinder head
bore with special Cummins wire brush tool or equiv-
alent (Fig. 24). Blow out bore hole with compressed
air.
(3) The bottom of fuel injector is sealed to cylinder
head bore with a copper sealing washer (shim) of a
certain thickness. A new shim with correct thickness
must always be re-installed after removing injector.
Measure thickness of injector shim (Fig. 23).Shim
Thickness: 1.5 mm (.060º)
(4) Install new shim (washer) to bottom of injector
(Fig. 22). Apply light coating of clean engine oil to
washer. This will keep washer in place during instal-
lation.
(5) Install new o-ring to fuel injector. Apply small
amount of clean engine oil to o-ring.
(6) Note fuel inlet hole on side of fuel injector. This
hole must be positioned towards injector connector
tube. Position injector into cylinder head bore being
extremely careful not to allow injector tip to touch
sides of bore. Press fuel injector into cylinder head
with finger pressure only.Do not use any tools to
press fuel injector into position. Damage to
machined surfaces may result.
(7) Position fuel injector hold down clamp into
shouldered bolt while aligning slot in top of injector
into groove in bottom of clamp. Tighten opposite
clamp bolt (Fig. 18) to 10 N´m (89 in. lbs.) torque.
(8) Install new o-ring to fuel injector connector
tube. Apply small amount of clean engine oil to
o-ring.
(9) Press injector connector tube into cylinder head
with finger pressure only.Do not use any tools topress tube into position. Damage to machined
surfaces may result.
(10) Connect high-pressure fuel lines. Refer to
High-Pressure Fuel Lines Removal/Installation.The
fuel line fitting torque is very critical.If fitting
is under torqued, the mating surfaces will not seal
and a high-pressure fuel leak will result. If fitting is
over torqued, the connector and injector will deform
and also cause a high-pressure fuel leak. This leak
will be inside cylinder head and will not be visible
resulting in a possible fuel injector miss and low
power.
(11) Install valve cover. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) -
INSTALLATION).
(12) (If necessary) install intake manifold air
heater assembly. Refer to Intake Manifold Air Heater
Removal/Installation.
(13) (If necessary) install engine lifting bracket.
Tighten 2 bolts to 77 N´m (57 ft. lbs.) torque.
(14) Connect negative battery cables to both bat-
teries.
(15) Bleed air from high-pressure lines (Refer to 14

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION - DIESEL
The intake manifold air temperature sensor is
installed into the rear of the intake manifold (Fig.
31) with the sensor element extending into the air
stream.
OPERATION - DIESEL
The IAT provides an input voltage to the Engine
Control Module (ECM) indicating intake manifold air
temperature. The input is used along with inputs
from other sensors for intake air heater element
operation, for engine protection, fuel timing and fuel
control. As the temperature of the air-fuel stream in
the manifold varies, the sensor resistance changes.
This results in a different input voltage to the ECM.

MAP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION - DIESEL
The MAP sensor is installed into the rear of the
intake manifold (Fig. 31).
OPERATION - DIESEL
The MAP sensor reacts to air pressure changes in
the intake manifold. It provides an input voltage to
the Engine Control Module (ECM). As pressure
changes, MAP sensor voltage will change. The
change in MAP sensor voltage results in a different
input voltage to the ECM. The ECM uses this input,
along with inputs from other sensors to provide fuel
timing, fuel control and engine protection. Engine
protection is used to derate (drop power off) the
engine if turbocharger pressure becomes to high.
