    Cummins NHC 250 High Idle Problem

    And remove the return line and drop it into a bucket, If the return line is plugged solid or kinked, the engine might not need to idle before the idle comes up, the line will be full and easily pressurized at start up to make the idle high. Do this before removing the pump. With a line into a...

    Cummins 350 injector pump on a 250

    Push tube....big one between the cam follower and injector lever or the link from the lever into the injector? Links are the same between SC and BC, PT is different between SC and BC, IIRC SC was a tad longer.

    M927 no start

    No, that's wrong. Set to 6 in lb and lock it down. No 15 extra degrees, no bottom the plunger. Set it at 6 in lb and run it. Injector on 3, valves on 5 when at A on the pulley. I V A 3 5 B 6 3 C 2 6 A 4 2 B 1 4 C 5 1

    Cummins 350 injector pump on a 250

    AND, the cam lift might be different. You need to look in a CPL book or better yet an injector book to see what cam is used. Was/is the 350 a big or small cam?

    I got it rebuilt, but, Brent and Craig are friends, might not hurt to have a 2nd kit on hand!

    Still not starting or idling

    So the engine will not turn over, as in no crank after shut down? 600 is low. Look on the engine data plate, I believe idle should be 700. Checking fuel system as follows. In the picture, Restriction from the truck, yellow circle. Lift Pump output pressure, black circle. Pressure drop across...

    Still not starting or idling

    You didn't say it would idle all day in neutral, it would idle only if you held rpm above 800. What rpm does it idle at? You need to check pressures and restriction.

    Still not starting or idling

    Exactly....IF the trans is FUBAR, it won't. It is trying to start fully loaded. A MINIMUM of 200 RPM....per Cumins...is needed to make one lite off...it will at a lower rpm, but NOT with a load. Before you go messing with pump settings, remove the converter bolts. It is...depending on the...

    Cummins PT pump Diagnostics

    AND, what the attached does not mention, IF you think you have a pump/engine issue, divide the system in half, engine/truck, by ELIMINATING the chassis. If the engine runs/accelerates fine with a line directly from the engine into a clean bucket of go juice, the issue is on the chassis. Keep in...

    Cummins PT pump Diagnostics

    This applies to basically ALL Cummins PT pumps, AFC or non AFC. If the pump you are working on does not have an AFC....non turbocharged engine....skip over the parts that relate to AFC operation. Thanks Simp, good find! And, this is directly from the Cummins troubleshooting steps.

    Rebuilt 250 has maxed out oil pressure

    Put a known good gauge in one of the ports. Verify against the dash gauge. No troubleshooting for high OP per Cummins, but, a stuck regulator will cause it. Did your failure put debris into the oil pan? If so, godd possibility debris in the regulator.

    Still not starting or idling

    Hard lines are pressure lines. If they leak, no air will be introduced into the system. You will just have a giant fuel mess.

    Still not starting or idling

    If it runs and drives but shuts off at idle or when you come to a stop, COULD be a messed up trans/converter. If the trans or converter is f-ed up, the engine is seeing a load all the time, the trans stops turning so it kills the engine. Does it smoke on start up? Easy thing to do to eliminate...

    Cummins 350 injector pump on a 250

    If you run an AFC pump on a non turbo engine, you will have zero power. Needs the turbo to make the pump work. You COULD run air to the AFC....20 psi or so max....and it will work. It will smoke like a freight train on accel!
