Engine stalls during operation: Timing of fuel injection pump is incorrect. Adjust fuel injection pump as required. Fuel filter plugging. Change filter element. Engine is not fully warmed up. Warm up to required temperature.

Diesel starts and stalls immediately: Fuel filter plugging. Replace filter element. Defective fuel injection pump. Repair or install new pump. Plugged air cleaner. Air filter maintenance required.

Engine overheats: Clogged radiator fins or leaking radiator cap. Clean radiator or install new cap. Engine coolant is insufficient. Fill radiator to proper level and check components for faults. Broken or loose fan belt. Fan belt must be replaced. Engine oil level is low. Check oil level and add oil as required.

Engine lacks power: Dirty or damaged injection nozzles. Clean or replace injection nozzles. Dirty fuel lines or hoses. Service fuel lines and hoses. Dirty air cleaner. Air filter maintenance required. Leaking cylinder head gasket. Install a new gasket.

Abnormal engine knocking or noise: Engine is not warmed up to the required temperature. Normalize the temperature by warming up the engine. Low engine oil level. Check oil level and add oil as required. Timing of fuel injection pump is incorrect. Use the correct fuel injection pump timing adjustment. Broken or worn pistons. Replace the pistons. Connecting rod misalignment or failure. Align or replace connecting rod.

Engine stalls while idle: Low idle speed setting is not correct. Correct low idle adjustment. The valve clearance is incorrect. Adjustment procedure required. Fuel injection pump damage. Repair or install new pump.

Oil pressure is low: Oil level is insufficient. Need to add oil. Oil pump failure. Repair or change. Oil filter element clogged. Change or clean engine oil filter element.
