CAUTION:
To prevent engine damage, do not over-tighten the high-pressure tube assembly fitting. Refer to FUEL CHARGING & CONTROLS - 6.0L DIESEL
.
- Install the ICP sensor or fill port plug removed during high pressure oil rail test.
- Remove the IPR valve. Inspect the IPR valve screen for damage or foreign matter. Remove the foreign matter as necessary. Install a new high pressure pump if the IPR valve screen is damaged.
- Remove the high pressure pump cover. Refer to FUEL CHARGING & CONTROLS - 6.0L DIESEL .
- Install the IPR valve and connect the IPR valve connector.
- Remove the plug from the top of the high pressure pump.
- Install the Adapter, High Pressure Rail Test 303-766 or equivalent in place of the plug.
- Slowly apply regulated shop-air pressure to the high pressure pump, using the Adapter, High Pressure Rail Test 303-766 or equivalent.
- Using the diagnostic tool, close the IPR valve by increasing the IPR duty cycle. Check the high pressure pump for leaks.
- Inspect the discharge tube, quick connect joint and the high pressure oil branch tube for damage. If no leaks are found and the engine has correct oil flow, install a new high pressure pump.
- If the leak is isolated to the branch tube quick connect fitting, install a new quick connect fitting and a new branch tube.
