1994 Scania 143 loss of power

My scania 143 450hp 14 litre truck has lost power. We have overhauled the injector pump and injectors, which has improved it but under full load it is not holding its power. Has anyone got any suggestions??

Check and adjust the injection timing of the pump and set it to spot on as any degrees retarded will affect performance. Check that there is no boost pressure from the turbo being lost from loose hoses and cracked tubes and intercooler. If you engine has a air compressor with a coiled steel line attached to it before the line is connected to a rubber hose to the tank Then replace the coil as it blocks up with carbon and puts the air compressor under constant load. Check for worn brake pivots as dragging brakes use up HP Finally have the truck chassis dyno tested to check for full pump operation as I had experience where the pump was fully rebuilt but the cam bearings in the pump were not replace and the pump was way off setting. ON a chassis dyno tested in direct gear the reading should ne around 410 hp at the rear wheels depending on the tread of the tyres. The test will show at what rpm\'s the governor in the pump is not performing as the power curve will not follow the set line.

SOURCE: I have a 1994 chevy k1500 preignition knock

open the intake manifold by removing the air cleaner and or hose look on the back side of the plate to see if there is varnish and gum if there is you need to do a top engine clean, You must understand that running that kind of gas will cause varnish and carbon buildup on the pistons and valves. This causes the knock sensor to not to be able to adjust for compression change. It can only advance the timing 50% once the carbon build up is to much it will start knocking. If you want to receive instructions on how to fix this then rate me post a comment and I will give you the two page answer on how to do this. Unless you want to keep buying parts. your choice. I will no longer post it here as I see some think they can just take my answers and copy them.

SOURCE: no power to fuel injectors or fuel pump

Scania P380 cranking but not starting what may be the problem

diesels are hard to start when you run them dry of fuel. you will need to trouble shoot the fuel lines. best place to check is to crack a fuel line going to an injector. crank the engine and see if fuel is being delivered to the injector. if not check your fuel pump, filters etc from the tank through to the engine.
