Case description
Symptom
Name Plate
Starter motor was working but engine didn't start.
Fuel pump was abnormal.
Service Report
Reason
Firstly, we checked battery voltage and it was Ok(25 Vdc). We checked the fuel pipe line and
fuel filter. They are normal. We checked the fuel relay and wire connection. It was Ok. Then,
we checked the EFC ( Electronic Fuel Control Card) and we adjust the knob (starting fuel). But
still the problem. Then, we checked the magnetic pickup voltage and actuator voltage. It was
normal. But, we found the problem Fuel pump actuator didn't work. It was abnormal.
Action
We changed the new pump actuator and we tested run the machine without load. It was Ok.
Job was finished.
Suggestion
First of all, the Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is a kind of solenoid that is directly controlled by
the engine controller. FCA controls how much fuel amount can be entered the Fuel Injection
PUMP.
The FCA can be operated by a small amount of current given by the controller; If there is no
current in the FCA,it is fully opened and injection pump makes the highest amount of fuel
pressure in the Rail system. The higher the current, the lesser the fuel flow ( FCA can be
produced). But it depend upon the type of solenoid ( normally pull or normally push ) type.
