Hello everyone, I need help with an International 4300 6.0L Diesel (or its sister engine, the Ford 6.0L Diesel). The issue is a crank but no start condition.
Background:The truck was brought in with an intermittent no-start issue. The customer had previously tried to start it to the point where they burned out the starter.
Initial Diagnostics:After running some basic diagnostics, we found that the ICP (Injection Control Pressure) percentage was too high during cranking, between 70-85%. At the same time, the high-pressure oil system was only reaching about 300 psi.
To address this, we replaced:
- All injectors o-rings (with OEM parts),
- "Dummy" tubes,
- All related gaskets,
- The ICP valve.
Now, during cranking, oil pressure in the high-pressure system reaches up to 1500 psi, which is much better, but the truck still won't start.
Current Symptoms:
- After cranking for about 10-15 seconds, white smoke comes out of the exhaust, and it smells like unburnt fuel.
- If we spray a small amount of starting fluid (the "magic spray"), the truck starts and runs fine. However, after the engine is off for a while, it goes back to the no-start condition.
Any ideas?
