Fix QINGLING Diesel Engine With An Over-speeding Problem

Aug 31, 2023

Truck Condition:

Model: NKR

ODO: 52000km

Problem: Engine revolution speed increasing abnormally, making a loud unusual sound and emitting black/blueish smoke through the exhaust pipe.

 

Analyse & troubleshoot:

Engine Over-speeding:

● It causes severe damage to the vehicle parts, potentially endangering the lives onboard.

● Speed regulation features might be altered or lost due to the injection pump and governor failure, triggered initially by oversupplied fuel in the combustion chamber.

 

Injection pump and governor failure:

● The process of repairing and assembling will risk cracking the injection pump and tweaking the plunger sleeve by accident; followed by the gap of the plunger invaded by impurities, the plunger rotates badly or gets stuck in the maximum supply position.

● If the adjusting arm or the ball joint is not in the groove of the adjusting fork, it might cause oversupply.

● The lubricating oil in the governor is too much, too sticky or too filthy, resulting in the governor being outbalanced and out of control.

 

Extra fuel in the combustion chamber:

● The oil level is too high, causing excessive oil flooding into the cylinder.

● The piston ring wears off and has a wide gap between cylinder walls.

● The solenoid valve of the starting device is leaking oil.

 

Note: Stop the vehicle once the over-speeding occurs. Do as follows:

● Leave the pedal alone.

● Quickly pull the rod back to the neutral position.

● Pull the valve control handle to the decompression position.

● Smother the cylinder by turning off the switch or blocking the air filter inlet with a cloth, and close the fuel tank switch, cut off the air and oil circuits.

● Shift to high gear, hit the brake pedal to the floor simultaneously, and slowly lift the clutch pedal to force the engine shutdown.

 

Conclusion:

● The stuck pedal rod might be the problem if the pedal bounces back without the engine continuously increasing the speed.

● The governor might be the problem if the pedal bounces back without the engine speed descending or shutting off.

● The Injection pump might be the problem if the pedal bounces back with the engine speed getting higher.

● Extra fuel enters the cylinder if the fuel supply system is well.

 

Remark:

To keep a similar situation from occurring, do as follows:

(1) The injection pump and governor should not be disassembled and adjusted at will;

(2) Use high-quality lubricating oil, and the quantity should not exceed the limit;

(3) Keep the fuel clean;

(4) Clean the air filter accordingly, wash or replace the coarse and fine filters on time;

(5) Inspect and maintain the engine regularly, repair and replace the bad-condition parts in time.
