SUSPENSION GP-SEAT 1492404 - Caterpillar

Probable Causes
Cold mode
Throttle signal
Electrical connectors
Unit injectors
Fuel supply
Boost pressure sensor
Air inlet and exhaust systemRecommended Actions
Note: If the problem only occurs under certain conditions, test the engine under those conditions. Examples of certain conditions are high engine speed, full load and engine operating temperature. Troubleshooting the symptoms under other conditions can give misleading results.Cold Mode
Use the electronic service tool to verify that the engine has exited cold mode. If the engine is operating in cold mode, an indicator will be displayed on the top of any of the status screens on the electronic service tool. Cold mode operation may slow throttle response.Throttle Signal
Connect the electronic service tool to the service tool connector. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position while the engine is OFF.Monitor the throttle position from low idle to full throttle. The duty cycle should be between 5 and 10 percent at low idle. The duty cycle will increase to 90 to 95 percent at full throttle. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Speed Control - Test" for additional information if the change in the throttle position is erratic or if the change in the throttle position is out of the specified range.Electrical Connectors
Check the harness for damage and for pinch points. Check the following connectors for incorrect attachment. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for additional information.
J1/P1 Electronic Control Module (ECM) connector
J2/P2 ECM connector
J300/P300 unit injector connector
connector for the throttle position sensorUnit Injectors
Perform the "Injector Solenoid Test" on the electronic service tool in order to determine if all of the injector solenoids are being energized by the ECM.
Perform the "Cylinder Cutout Test" on the electronic service tool in order to identify any injectors that might be misfiring. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Injector Solenoid Circuit - Test" for the proper procedure. Fuel Supply
Check the fuel lines for the following problems: restrictions, collapsed lines and pinched lines. If problems are found with the fuel lines, repair the lines and/or replace the lines.
Check the fuel tank for foreign objects which may block the fuel supply.
Check for air in the low pressure fuel supply system if any of the following procedures have been performed:
Replacement of the fuel filters
Service on the low pressure fuel supply circuit
Replacement of unit injectorsNote: A sight glass in the low pressure supply line is helpful in diagnosing air in the fuel. Refer to Testing and Adjusting for more information.
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again.
Purge air from the low pressure fuel supply circuit. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System - Prime" for the correct procedure.
Check fuel quality. In temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), check for solidified fuel (wax). Refer to Special Publication , SEBD0717, "Diesel Fuels And Your Engine".
Check the fuel pressure after the fuel filter while the engine is being cranked. Refer to Testing and Adjusting for the correct pressure values. If the fuel pressure is low, replace the fuel filters. If the fuel pressure is still low,
