d) air intake hoses and pipe leaking or loose

B) Fuel system
a) fuel level low (visual check)
b) fuel suction pipe leaking ( visual and gauge test)
c) fuel filter clogged (low pressure test)
d) fuel feed pump faulty (low pressure fuel system test)
e) common rail pressure test ( pressure limiter leakage test)
f) injector faulty (leakage test and injector cut off)
g) fuel system electrical sensors or actuators faulty ( monitoring code check and measuring test)
h) fuel supply pump faulty (high pressure system test)
i) injection timing too retard

C) Engine mechanical condition ( engine compression pressure test)


a) wear piston ring and liner
b) wear intake and exhaust valves
