You wrote that it works fine. Buy new nozzles (and do not forget to register them), and repair the old ones in stock. Put, after your filter, a filter that will filter 2 microns (when you called me, I managed to tell you, after which the connection was cut off) .When you install new forces, flush the entire system, fuel. You also wrote that you can share information in a personal on the repair of a stone, it is not accepted here and they communicate on the forum, if I am wrong, the forum will correct me.

Leha Yurich will help you, he has a phone number in his profile. people checked. fireplaces, of course, shit is excellent, you need to run for umz))) or to another service

Are you sure that you will be repaired normally and it will not be a pig in a poke? Ask, will they give you the code for registering the injectors after the repair? So on which car of the three did the injectors fly?

flew on mine! in some places changed the sinkers in order as they were only put on a car that has almost no run. on a new troit only at the first start then it works smoothly. We drove literally 10 km as we also heard uneven work. We decided not to tempt fate and put everything in its place. My car's mileage is 153 t km. Teperb which is the third car everything works there. On it, at 75 t.km, the engine was approximately taken off. Threw out the oil. As it turned out, the marriage of the ring! () In one of the cities. We made two. in Yoshkar Ola. After the run, I walked 50 t km. Works smoothly quietly softly. But as it turned out with an electrician, he could not! I was wrong about the registration of the farsocks. (why asked) t. I didn’t know, and the third car didn’t tell me what they prescribed, although I personally saw that I had mixed up the badges.

About the code. Apparently it won't give the code, at least it didn't say anything. I heard out of my ear that they are being repaired when they are coded close to the central parameters. I don't understand anything about this.

Engines of the cummins series, and in particular the cummins isf 2.8, are currently installed on such cars as Gazelle, Gazelle NEXT, GAZ 2752 Sable and are an excellent diesel engine. The cylinder block is cast from cast iron, the cylinder liners are milled into the block. Thanks to milling, significant block strength and material savings are achieved. When the liner wears out, then during a major overhaul, it can be very simply replaced or it can be sharpened to the first repair size.

Image - DIY repair of cummins gazelle nozzles

The block head is made in one piece, with four valves per cylinder. The valves are driven via rocker arms from the camshaft. The nozzle of the cummins isf 2.8 engine is located clearly in the center of the cylinder... All valves are made of high temperature resistant material and the valve stem is chrome plated to prevent scoring and chipping. If you have to buy the whole set, as the valves are not interchangeable. The crankshaft of the cummins isf 2.8 engine is made of gray cast iron, the pulley with the shaft is one-piece. The camshaft is driven by a chain and is carried out through an intermediate gear. The chain drive of the cummins isf 2.8 engine, although it adds a little noise, is quite tolerable for a truck.

Well, having figured out the minimum device of the cummins isf 2.8 engine, you can go to one of the main questions: how the injector is cleaned. And we are interested in how to do it on our own, for example, on a long journey or when it is often not cost-effective to contact the service. For example, when a GAZelle participates in a small business, and its driver is "handy" enough not to go to the service.

The first symptoms in order to start thinking about cleaning the injectors can be the twitching of the car when the accelerator pedal is pressed sharply, dips when picking up speed, and if the air is humid, then the car does not drive at all.

At the service station, the nozzle is cleaned using special equipment - ultrasound.After visiting the service and carrying out cleaning, the efficiency of the power supply system is restored almost completely, that is, the fuel mixture is much better distributed over the cylinders and is sprayed better. We will pay attention to the methods of self-cleaning of the nozzles, we will have two of them. We need these things:

  • Injector and carburetor cleaning kit.
  • Special rubber seals.

Image - DIY repair of cummins gazelle nozzles

Cleaning the injectors of the cummins isf 2.8 engine

Now let's start parsing. First, carefully remove the barrel with the idle speed regulator (IAC) pipes, then disconnect the wires from the injectors and remove their clips. Now you need to carefully remove the nozzle bar, everything must be done carefully so as not to break anything. After removing the nozzles from their seats, you need to soak them in some unnecessary container in the liquid for the injector cleaner. While the injector of the cummins isf 2.8 engine is “turning off”, we will prepare the following tools: a foot pump with a pressure gauge and an accumulator. Also, in order not to waste time, you can clean the IAC with a carburetor cleaner. Next, we remove carbon deposits with a needle, we must clean everything around the nozzle. To completely clean the nozzles we have to flush them. To do this, we remove the hose from the pump and fill it with a cleaner, then we connect the hose to the nozzle and apply voltage to it. We repeat with each nozzle, after which we put everything back. The second method is longer, but cheaper. We do everything in the same way, but it will be necessary to pour a carburetor cleaner into the hose from the pump, and we remove the external carbon deposits with a cloth moistened with the same cleaner. The carbon deposits will slowly dissolve. That is why this method is longer. Next, put the nozzles in place in the same way.

The fuel system uses electro-hydraulic injectors, which are controlled by an electronic control module. High pressure fuel is supplied to the injector from the rail.

A solenoid valve located at the top of the injector activates a needle that delivers the required amount of fuel through a nozzle to each cylinder.

Multiple fuel injection is carried out by the command of the electronic module (ECM), which controls the operation of the solenoid valves of the injectors. The gaps in the nozzle nozzle openings are too small and any debris entering them will clog the nozzle. Therefore, it is important to remove dirt around all fittings in the fuel system before servicing.

The high pressure fuel line fitting has a slotted filter that crushes small dirt particles that enter the fuel system. It uses high-frequency fluctuations in fuel pressure to break down most of the particles to a size that matches the flow area of ​​the injector.

All injectors are connected to a common low pressure fuel return line. All excess fuel from the injectors, rail, and fuel pump is returned to the fuel tank through the low pressure fuel line. A low pressure check valve is installed in the low pressure line, which prevents fuel from returning to the injectors along this circuit. The drain lines are provided with push-type fittings with lynch clips on each nozzle.

If the injector is faulty or partially faulty, the engine will work unstable, consume more fuel, and the engine will "shake". Fuel leakage through the drain line, as a result of a malfunction of any injector, can be checked as follows:

Disconnect the fuel drain line from each injector

Press on the latch fixing the drain pipe union

Disconnect the return line from the nozzle

We connect the separate drain hoses included in the nozzle leak test kit (catalog number 4918899). If this kit is not available, suitable sized hoses can be used.

We lower all four hoses into separate measuring containers.

We start the engine and measure the amount of fuel collected per minute.We compare the results for each injector.

The maximum fuel consumption for each injector should be 20 ml / min.

Do not remove the injectors unnecessarily!

Unscrew the nut securing the high pressure pipe to the rail

Holding the nozzle fitting from turning, unscrew the nut securing the high pressure pipe to the nozzle

The first GAZelles with Cummins engines appeared on the market in 2010. At the first stage, the appearance of a diesel engine instead of the familiar 406 gasoline engine, the drivers of minibuses took hostility. But today the share of sales of GAZelles with diesel engines is about 80% of the total sales of these popular trucks.

The most common reason for complaints from drivers of GAZelles with a Cummins diesel engine is problems with fuel equipment, namely, a breakdown of Common Rail injectors. Today, Cummins ISF 2.8 engines are installed on diesel GAZelles. These are very reliable engines that are produced all over the world. However, like any other Cummins ISF 2.8 diesel engine, it is sensitive to any impurities in the fuel. Most dangerous: water and dirt. Not all owners of fixed-route taxis and trucks, after long-term operation of a gasoline engine, have the necessary skills to properly maintain a Common Rail diesel engine. In addition, many individual entrepreneurs who work on route GAZelles and as private freight carriers do not have their own garage to perform maintenance and timely check fuel equipment. This leads to the fact that their nozzles fail much earlier than the estimated date.

We regularly receive GAZelles with faulty injectors for repairs, which have not even worked out half of the due date. Why is this happening? First of all, because the owner of this GAZelle did not pay enough attention to keeping the fuel system clean. There are three unconditional requirements that must be met if you become the owner of a diesel GAZelle with a Cummins engine. If you do not want to constantly spend money on repairing the injectors and fuel equipment of your GAZelle, accustom yourself to:

  • change filters and oil at least once every 10,000 kilometers,
  • use only original filters,
  • use additional water separators,
  • refuel only at reliable gas stations.

Even such uncomplicated habits will help you extend your atomizers for a much longer period.

If your GAZelle suddenly has thick black smoke, or the engine starts to work with a knock, and the idle speed becomes floating and unstable, then there is a high probability that the nozzles of your GAZelle have already suffered. Do not despair, Bosch injectors that are installed on these Cummins engines have excellent maintainability. Our auto center has extensive experience in the repair of GAZelle injectors.

Today, the cost of repairing GAZelle injectors in our company is from 5,500 rubles.

This is much lower than the cost of repairing common rail injectors of other trucks. In addition, the availability of a constant stock of spare parts for the repair of GAZelle injectors with a Cummins engine allows us to carry out repairs as soon as possible. We perfectly understand that for your business, every hour of downtime leads to serious loss of income, so we pay great attention to the speed of repair.

We strongly advise you, at the first sign of a malfunction in the fuel system, to contact the service and not to operate the car with a faulty injector.It must be remembered that such an injector can spray a larger amount of fuel into the cylinder, which can cause the engine to "run wild". I would also like to warn you against trying to repair GAZelle injectors with your own hands. Quite often, this only leads to the fact that after the repair you have to order new nozzles, which are much more expensive than the price we offer you to pay for a high-quality repair of nozzles.

After repairs, we strongly recommend flushing the fuel system and fuel tank and checking the fuel line for metal chips. A mandatory requirement is to replace the fuel filter. If these requirements are not met, then after a few weeks, your injectors may fail again, due to the fact that the dirt remaining in the fuel system has again led to damage to the precision parts.

Please note that if metal shavings are found in the fuel lines, the cost of repairing the GAZelle fuel system with a Cummins 2.8 engine may increase significantly, since this indicates a malfunction of the injection pump, which cannot be repaired.That is why we advise you to repair the injectors at the earliest stage, while they improper operation and dirt in the fuel system did not cause more serious engine problems.

Tell me how you can remove the injector from the engine.

I tried to loosen it by the fitting, but three people did not move it by a millimeter in an hour.

there is a pneumatic hammer for licota injectors

the right thing for diesel service

This is actually a difficult question. We coped with a homemade reverse hammer.

And so in the place of seeing, maybe the replacement of the nozzle will be required.

on sanyeng, the aktion could not be pulled out in two weeks until they cut it off.

Filmed with a partner once with a reverse hammer and a mounting. The reverse hammer does not quite work in the right direction. The knocking out produces upward and to the side, t to the nozzle on the nozzle at an angle. Therefore, they gave a stretch on the back side with a fitting. The method was certainly not humane, but after 3 hours of torment they pulled out!

Tell me how you can remove the injector from the engine.

Hydraulic puller Licota ATA-3502

on sanyeng, the aktion could not be pulled out in two weeks until they cut it off.

Share how you can do this using the drilling method?

The hole in the nozzle is not centered and the drill is pulling away, i.e. unreal.

We make in such difficult cases on a milling machine, well, or a new head.

Modern commercial vehicles are unthinkable without a diesel engine. Because the diesel engine has long been synonymous with fuel economy, high-torque performance and, as a result, ease of control. Commercial vehicles of the GAZ brand do not differ much from the cars of world manufacturers in this regard and they actively use diesel engines.

Image - DIY repair of cummins gazelle nozzles

Since 2010, the engines of the world engine manufacturer Cummings have been installed on Gazelle and Sable cars. This is an engine with a modern Common Rail fuel system that meets all modern requirements. Fuel equipment installed on the Cummings engine of Gazelle and Sable cars, the world famous Bosch brand. The solenoid injectors are controlled by the electronic engine control module. This involves diagnostics and repairs in specialized workshops that are able to diagnose and repair such complex fuel equipment. An attempt to fix a malfunction on your own very often leads to the fact that time and money is wasted, and in the end you have to go to a professional car service.

If the car shows signs of a possible failure of the car's fuel equipment, such as smoke of various shades from the exhaust pipe, engine interruptions, loss of traction, as well as difficult starting of the car's engine, then you need to contact a car service for a competent diagnosis.

If the diagnostics reveal a malfunction of the fuel injectors, then we can offer not only replacement, but also repair of the injectors. Unlike other manufacturers of fuel equipment, there is a fairly wide range of spare parts for Bosch mechanisms. This allows you to quickly, efficiently and with high reliability to repair the fuel equipment of Gazelle and Sobol vehicles.

Since the injectors are made of high-quality materials, some parts of the injectors can not only be replaced with new ones, but also restored without losing their resource. The tight repair times for commercial vehicles are of particular importance. Therefore, for the owners of such cars, we offer special terms of cooperation. Call us and we will agree with you the time of diagnostics of your car. This will shorten the waiting time when picking up the vehicle.

We offer a comprehensive solution that allows you to quickly and responsibly eliminate vehicle malfunctions.Having carried out diagnostics and repairs, we eliminate the malfunction, and do not shift the decision onto someone else's shoulders, referring to incorrect diagnostics or installation and the absence of specialists in another car service.

Image - DIY repair of cummins gazelle nozzles

Initially, the electrical equipment of the engine is checked to identify problems that may affect the operation of the engine and the elimination of which will speed up the repair process. For example, when the call “Will not start”, the battery, starter, glow plugs, electrical sensors or solenoids, injectors or high pressure fuel pumps may fail. The list is extensive and complex diagnostics are necessary to identify a malfunction. It is not always possible to diagnose correctly on your own, since this requires special tools and certain knowledge.

The list of possible faulty parts varies depending on the reason for the appeal, but whatever the reason for the appeal is: it won't start, smoke, won't pull, increased fuel consumption, etc., it is necessary to check not only the injectors and the high-pressure fuel pump, but also the sensors , turbine, intercooler and other elements of the car. If the diagnostics of the car reveals the need to check the injector, then for only 295 rubles, at a modern stand, in a short time, we will check the operability of the injector removed from the car. This test bench simulates all operating conditions of the injector in the engine, starting from the minimum fuel supply, as in idle or preliminary injection mode, and ending with the maximum supply, as with the fully depressed accelerator pedal.

We know everything about fuel equipment. Our specialists have not only been trained in the diagnosis and repair of fuel equipment, but also have extensive practical experience in diagnostics and repair of fuel equipment, as well as restoration of individual parts of fuel equipment, which allows us to perform work quickly and efficiently.

We actively cooperate with Robert BOSCH, which allows us to have spare parts necessary for repairing fuel equipment in stock, including individual injector parts, and receive information support.

If it is not possible to bring the car, bring the nozzles.

If you cannot bring the nozzles, send them, call us at the phone number indicated on the website and we will arrange delivery.

Injector control elements:

The control element of electromagnetic injectors, which are installed on Gazelle and Sable cars, is a solenoid (electromagnetic coil). Image - DIY repair of cummins gazelle nozzles

Coils very rarely fail and in most cases, the failure of these elements is detected even at the stage of car diagnostics, that is, without removing it from the car. But the replacement of this element must be done already on the removed nozzle, since during repair it is necessary to adjust the air gap between the armature and the electromagnet. It is necessary to disassemble and repair the nozzle in a clean room, since the gaps in the nozzle mechanism are very small and any dirt entering the nozzle will disable it. Also, during installation, small parts, including an adjusting washer, may be lost or incorrectly installed.

One of the main hydraulic elements. Through holes in the nozzle, fuel is fed into the combustion chamber of the engine. And the needle opens the fuel supply to the nozzle openings and prevents fuel from leaking into the cylinder when the injector is closed, as well as the ingress of exhaust gases into the fuel system. With the wrong processes Image - DIY repair of cummins gazelle nozzles

combustion of fuel, these elements are most susceptible to contamination and destruction. Therefore, special attention is paid to the condition of the needle, the spray nozzle and the sealing surfaces of the spray and the needle. They affect engine starting, fuel consumption, engine thrust, smoke, and engine smoothness. If necessary, these parts are cleaned and restored, and if restoration is impossible, they are changed.

The needle in the atomizer is opened by the fuel pressure, which is controlled by a solenoid valve. The wear of this valve leads to incorrect operation of the injector, and incorrect operation of the injector affects the engine starting, fuel consumption, thrust and smoke of the engine.

The solenoid injector valve looks like this:Image - DIY repair of cummins gazelle nozzles

It is often only possible to see damage to such a valve through a microscope.

If there is damage to the ball, it is replaced with a new one, and if there is damage to the valve seat, it can be restored. Unfortunately, if the seat is very badly damaged, the valve has to be changed.

Damage to the injector body most often occurs when the injector is removed from the engine or due to improper disassembly. To prevent this, it is necessary to use special devices and tools for these operations. In the event that a nozzle with a damaged body is provided to us, it is possible to replace the body, since there is a repair fund available.

High-precision injectors ensure high-quality engine performance. Modern nozzles are varied in their types.

Their differences are due to the types of fuel systems that are used in diesel engines. Therefore, in order to understand the design and repair features of the injector, it is necessary to understand the principle of operation of a particular system for supplying fuel.

Image - DIY repair of cummins gazelle nozzles

Regardless of the type, fuel systems perform the same tasks. Any fuel system should create the highest possible pressure during fuel injection.

Due to the high pressure, a portion of the fuel is atomized into small fractions. This promotes its rapid evaporation and mixing with air, and, therefore, improves the quality of the resulting air-fuel mixture.

In order for the fuel system to clearly perform its functions, its design is constantly being improved, electronic control of the injection system is used, and various technologies are used to ensure optimal fuel injection. There are three types of fuel systems used in a diesel internal combustion engine:

  • classic system using a high-pressure fuel pump (high pressure fuel pump);
  • a battery-type fuel system with a common fuel line (Common Rail);
  • system in which pump-nozzles are used (Pumpe-Duse).

Cummins engines use a variety of fuel delivery systems to accommodate different injectors. However, each of them meets international requirements for reliability and environmental friendliness. In addition, Cummins injectors can be repaired, which reduces the cost of operating the engine. Next, we will consider methods for troubleshooting and repairing Kamens injectors.

Image - DIY repair of cummins gazelle nozzles

Poor quality fuel can lead to wear and erosion of injectors. In addition, just like other parts of a car that interact with hydraulic fluids and air, injectors are susceptible to corrosion.

In this case, the most common failure of a nozzle is a failure of the atomizer. In addition, subject to wear: the nozzle nut, the nozzle body and fungus, and the spacer. Wear is manifested in mechanical damage and deformation of the nozzle parts, as well as a change in the linear dimensions of its parts.

There are external signs by which you can determine the need to check the condition of the injectors. These features include gaps and loose fit between the body and other parts of the nozzle, resulting from linear distortions or wear of the atomizer mounting nut.

Image - DIY repair of cummins gazelle nozzles

The oil volume of a Kamens engine depends on the type of engine, the number of cylinders and the type of oil pan. An insufficient amount of oil leads to a decrease in pressure and deterioration in the performance of the lubrication system.

The peculiarity of the assembly of the gas distribution mechanism of the Kamins engine is that during it, parts made of heat-resistant steel are used, and the exhaust valves installed in the engines are made of chrome-silicon alloy. Engine assembly details are here.

Another alarm is a drop in pressure that causes the nebulizer to open. In normal operation, during the entire period of operation of the nozzle, the opening pressure should not decrease by more than 10% from the nominal value set by the manufacturer. Excessive pressure drop can be caused by wear on the spring or on the nozzle surfaces.

A worrying factor is reduced fuel delivery to the atomizer and improper injection. All this affects the quality of the engine's operation and leads to a loss of power or an increase in the opacity of work.

Any internal leakage from a fitting or injector will increase fuel flow through the return line.

Checking the leaks with the cylinders shutting off in turn will not help to determine the location of the leak, since it is located before the needle valve of the injector.

Since all injectors receive fuel from a common fuel line, losses will be distributed evenly across all cylinders.

There are a number of operations, individual for each engine model, focused on separating the fuel streams and measuring the fuel consumption coming from the injectors.

Initial check

After the preparatory operations have been carried out, you can start measuring the level of fuel consumption, but first, remember the important rules.

So, we start checking and first of all we start the engine. Next, enable the Fuel Leak Test available with the INSITE ™ Diagnostic Kit. It is necessary to wait at least a minute for the nozzles to warm up to operating temperature, as this will provide more accurate measurements.

Install the drain hose into a graduated cylinder and measure the amount of fuel flowing out per minute.

Fuel consumption rating with INSITE ™ check enabled

  • 4-cylinder - no more than 200 ml,
  • 6 cylinder - no more than 300 ml

Standard fuel consumption in idle mode

  • 4-cylinder - no more than 120 ml,
  • 6-cylinder - no more than 180 ml.

It should be borne in mind that in this mode, it is possible not to detect a fuel leak.

If fuel consumption is higher than the specified limits, it makes sense to carry out a check with insulation of the injectors.

Having found out that the problem of excessive fuel consumption in the injectors, they should be removed and checked for the possibility of further operation.

Dismantling a nozzle is an operation that requires accuracy and skill. With special care, it is necessary to dismantle when repairing Cummins pump injectors, or repairing Common Rail injectors, since due to the complexity of their design, there is an increased risk of damage.

It should be noted that the removal of the injectors should be resorted to only if the malfunction was confirmed by diagnostic procedures. The injector can only be dismantled with the ignition off after preliminary cleaning of all connections of the fuel system with stiff brushes, rinsing and drying with compressed air.

Training: remove the fuel line, the fuel line fitting, the rocker arm cover and the exhaust rocker itself.

Removing the injectors. First, disconnect the wiring leading to the solenoid valve, and then remove the two bolts of the injector holder, and then the holder itself. Remember, the injector holder is not removable on all engine models. Use a special nozzle puller, or you can use a small pry bar to pry the nozzle by the pressure flange.

Use a cloth soaked in solvent to clean the nozzle body and tip. Check tip for corrosion or carbon deposits. Check all terminals of the solenoid valve for damage.

Check the end of the fuel line fitting and the injector inlet for damage. If overheating took place during the operation of the injectors, then blue or dark yellow spots will appear on it (depending on the overheating temperature).

Check the injector O-rings for damage and replace if necessary.

After a general inspection, repair of the cummins injector pump and, if necessary, replacing defective parts, we proceed to installation.

First of all, make sure that the hole for the nozzle is clean and that there is only one sealing washer on the nozzle itself. The nozzle holder should face the rocker arms with the rounded edge and the nozzle inlet facing the manifold.

Lubricate the O-ring with engine oil and align the injector in the correct position on the cylinder head (inlet facing the fuel line fitting). Check that the nozzle fits snugly in the hole.

If the injector is without the solenoid valve packing cover, try to avoid applying force to its terminals, as they may break if pressure is applied to them when installing the injector.

Without tightening the bolts, install the nozzle holder. Check the fuel line fitting for burrs or deformation around the fitting ends and inspect the slotted filter for clogging.

If all of the above signs are found, the parts must be replaced.

Install the fuel line fitting so that the end fits into the inlet of the injector. Screw on the nut of the high pressure fuel line fitting and tighten loosely. First, tighten the holder bolts evenly and make sure that the gap between the nozzle and the holder is even. But then you can tighten the fitting nut.

The design of the crankcase differs in different types of engines. In light motors, it is one piece, without any bolted or welded connections. But in larger engines, a crankcase is used, made of cast struts, connected by welding, anchors and other types of fasteners.

The Cummins ISF 2.8 engine is an excellent engine for medium-sized businesses. You can study the characteristics of an economical and efficient engine in this article.

Using a torque wrench, connect the wiring to the valve and tighten the terminals and make sure that when installing the wires do not come into contact with the rocker arms.

Final operations: install the rocker arm and adjust the exhaust valve clearances, install the rocker arm cover, start the engine fuel line to make sure there are no leaks.

In conclusion, it must be said that all types of maintenance and repair of Kamens injectors should be carried out in a specialized service center. This is due to the high requirements for cleanliness and accuracy of injector adjustment, as well as the importance of matching the injector parameters with the engine manufacturer's requirements.
