What should fuel psi be on dt466e International diesel?

What should fuel psi be on dt466e International diesel?

Usually when we get no start cold but fires and runs after using ether it might be injectors, but you need to do the fuel checks I posted and let me know. If you don’t have a fuel psi gauge, autozone loans them out. I like to have around 60psi I have seen them run ok above 45psi.

Why does my 1999 IH dt466e keep dying?

I have a 1999 IH DT466E that will not stay running. It will start right up and then run from anywhere from 30 secs. to several minutes. It then dies, but will start back up and do the same thing. I have replaced the fuel filter on the drivers side, and the high pressure oil pump is also new last fall.

Where is the HPOP on a 1999 dt466e?

On the left side of the engine mounted on the back side of the front cover is the high pressure oil pump. Its also right above the air compressor ( if equipped) or ps pump. On the hpop there is a valve near the bottom of it.

Why does my dt466e diesel engine not start?

DT466E international diesel wont start… Will it stay running, after you ether it? Or does it just die out again? Do you have access to a scanner, any engine light on? Does the tach read while you are cranking? Can you use the hand primer on the filter base to try and prime system, if it does not get hard to pump you are most likely sucking air.

Is the DT466 truck getting hard to start?

I have had a small problem with it before, usually first thing in the AM. But now it doesn’t want to start no matter what time of the day it is. If its been sitting for any length of time it cranks and will finally start after about 45 seconds. There is nothing else wrong with this truck, this is the only problem it is giving me now.

What does no check engine light mean on dt466e?

Sorry forgot to say its a 2000 international 4900 with a 6 spd eaton. Thanks. Do you have a check engine light? No light = no ECM power (key on, engine off). Look at the back of the key switch and see if the wires are burnt in the connector. They may have lost connection and you have no power going out.

Why does my dt466e take so long to start?

The high psi oil system, in a dt466e you have high psi oil that fires the injectors, and sometimes the pump can actually bleed down overnight causing it to take forever to start, the only way to check that will be let it sit overnight and there is a temp sensor in the front cover/ drivers side . it is right in front of the oil/fuel pump.

Why does my DT466 start harder cold than hot?

To answer your voltage question, that’s EXACTLY what is likely causing your problem. On a cold engine it takes more battery power to crank the engine compared to a HOT engine, so it starts harder cold – we all know that.

What kind of car is the DT 466?

Can’t seem to figure this one out myself, so I figured I’d try here. 2003 International 4300 with the 466, and have been having some issues. Used to start and run beautiful, probably the best running dt I’ve driven.

Is it mandatory to start ignition at all temps?

She’s got about 185k, and it used to be temperature related. Once the truck would get to operating temp, she’d fire right away. Now, wd40 is mandatory to start ignition at all temps.
