crossover.
a. If fuel rate ok, fuel pressure high, and turbocharger pressure okay, replace injectors.
Refer to para. 2-31.
b. If fuel rate ok, fuel pressure high, and turbocharger pressure okay or low, replace
injectors. Refer to para. 2-31.
c. If fuel rate low, fuel pressure ok, and turbocharger pressure low, replace injectors.
Refer to para. 2-31.
d. If fuel rate ok, fuel pressure ok, and turbocharger pressure low, check intake air
restriction. Replace turbocharger if necessary. Refer to para. 2-19.
