What does a turbo boost sensor do?
The Turbo Boost Sensor measures turbo manifold pressure to the ECM, and is used to calculate air density and the required fuel delivery for optimum combustion. If it fails, the system may not add fuel under boost and can result in loss of power and possible engine damage.
Is MAP sensor same as boost sensor?
MAP sensors measure absolute pressure. Boost sensors or gauges measure the amount of pressure above a set absolute pressure. That set absolute pressure is usually 100 kPa. Thus a MAP sensor will always read 100 kPa more than a boost sensor measuring the same conditions.
Can a bad MAP sensor cause no boost?
This will cause the engine to run poorly and lose power. Turbo and supercharged engines will suffer even more due to their reliance on the MAP sensor for a boost in fueling and timing needs.
What happens when a wastegate fails?
However, when the wastegate hose is broken, leaking or blocked, it will cause more raw fuel to be expelled from the exhaust system without being burned. This will result in a rapid loss in fuel and significantly reduced fuel economy.
Are there any problems with the series 60 engine?
We’ve briefly discussed some of these problems in our Series 60 spotlight, but we’ll dive into them a bit more fully here. It Still Runs also mentions a few of these issues. Cold starts, aptly named for starting your engine in cold temperatures, have given Series 60 engines trouble. They can lose their prime and not start properly.
What’s the problem with my turbo speed sensor?
Turbo speed sensor. So I unplugged the turbo speed sensor. Drove around and check engine light came on. But it looks like it did not cut off boost like it does with speed sensor plugged in. So tomorrow I will go buy a new turbo speed sensor and hopefully that will solve this issue.
What causes a Detroit Diesel Series 60 to spin?
If there’s an issue with your throttle, that’s a good place to start. Bearing problems, particularly spun bearings, are typically caused on older Series 60 by low oil pressure at idle. A spun bearing occurs when there is a lack of lubrication causing overheating. The bearing can eventually seize, creating even more problems.
Are there any problems with the Detroit Series 60?
This issue did not affect all pre-2002 Series 60 engines, but it was a problem that occurred and could cause catastrophic engine failure. As with most engines, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on your cooling system. Overheating is the cause of many major issues with diesel engines, so maintaining this system can help with many preventable issues.
