Why is my Cummins M11 engine not starting?
The truck drove into the shop with the driver complaining of engine missing and not pulling properly. Hooked insite and there were no active codes, engine runs with starting fluid. possible fuel feed issue?fuel pressure check first.try to run engine from a bucket of fuel (bypass fuel tanks)maybe something stuck in tank pick up tube.
What should the RPM be on a Cummins M11?
An M11 needs 195 RPM cranking to start, it should have at least 75 lbs, going quickly to minimum 140, fuel preasure, you want to test the fuel system while cranking for restriction, filter, fuel lines, ECM cooler plate, as will a plugged suction tube, all will give you a high resistance above 10 is a problem, with a new filter, 6 is max.
What to do if your Cummins engine is not running?
The best way to rule it out is to check if the fuel tank is sufficiently filled, then make sure the pump is delivering fuel and run diagnostics on the actual pressure. Insufficient fuel supply: The engine needs a sufficient supply of fuel to run correctly.
What’s the SAE fault on a Cummins M11?
Also, if I turn off the motor when the check engine light comes on, and then restart it, the truck starts with the check engine light turned off, but the accelerator still falters as it regains stability. SAE fault 102 – 2 for a M11 is for the intake manifold pressure circuit.
Do you need CPL for a Cummins M11?
If you call Cummins you can for a lot of the Cummins injectors, just buy a spring. You will need the serial and CPL. If the injectors were working there is no reason to replace them all. That is what I called diagnosis by the ripping and tearing method. It is very expensive
What are the fuel lines on a Cummins M11?
The fuel lines are plastic parker hanifan 5/8 hose. This engine does not have a check valve in the top fitting of cooling plate like some do and cummins told me they did not all have this check valve.
What to do if your engine cranks but not starts?
Loosen the high pressure line at two injectors and visually check fuel delivery while cranking the engine. Replace injection pump, if fuel is not being delivered. Check the injection pump timing.
What’s the cranking speed on a Cummins M11?
I have never seen a Cummins have a problem with the ECM, if you are getting power to the fuel solinoid, and 195 cranking speed. You might want to check the wiring plug in the intake cover, is tight If you have it on the computer and it should show the cranking speed.
What kind of harness do I need for a Cummins ECM?
This is the adapter you will need to hook to the CM2150 ECM’s. It now has the ROM BOOT switch on it. You will also need the base harness which I also carry and sell separately. This one will hook to the following engine / ECM’s. This is the adapter you will need for the CM2250 ECM”.

What should the pressure be on a Cummins blowby?
Not sure on a Cummins but other diesel engine makers say the pressure coming out the blowby shouldn’t exceed 5 psi. Anymore indicates a valve or ring problem. If you don’t have a gauge setup to measure it just put your thumb over the end of the blowby, you should be able to hold it there without blowing off.
How can I tell if my Cummins engine is having a problem?
The best ways to identify if this is the problem is first to make sure the tank has enough fuel. Next, check whether or not the pump is actually delivering fuel to the engine. If those are both correct, check if the pressure is low. Low cranking speed: The engine needs to turn over quickly for the fuel pump to generate pressure.
