Engine starts but immediately stalls: Fuel filter plugging. Service the filter. Fuel injection pump is not operating properly. Install a new fuel pump or repair. Air filter plugged. Air filter maintenance required.

Engine is overheated: Dirty radiator fins or faulty radiator cap. Clean radiator or change cap. Engine coolant is insufficient. Fill radiator to proper level and check components for faults. Fan belt is worn or faulty. If necessary, replace the belt. Low engine oil level. Add oil to the engine crankcase.

Loss of engine power: Fuel injection nozzles are dirty or defective. Check and replace nozzles if required. Restricted fuel lines or hoses. Clean fuel lines and hoses. Dirty air filter. Service air cleaner. Worn cylinder head gasket. Replace the gasket as required.

Engine knocking or noise: Engine is not warmed up to the required temperature. Warm up the engine. Not enough engine oil. Fill up the oil to required level. Fuel injection pump timing is not adjusted. Check the fuel injection pump timing adjustment. Pistons are scored or worn. Have pistons replaced. Misaligned or defective connecting rod. Alignment procedure or replacement is required.

Engine stalls while idle: Too low idle RPM. Normalize low idle speed. The valve clearance is incorrect. Adjust to proper valve clearance. Fuel injection pump is not working correctly. Repair or replace injection pump.
