A. INTRODUCTION

A diesel engine's job is to transform diesel into motion so that the vehicle

may move. The most common method of generating motion from diesel is to

burn it in an engine. As a result, the engine is an internal combustion engine,

meaning that combustion takes place inside the engine. This lesson will teach

you how to diagnose diesel engine problems and how to tune them properly.

You'll be doing exercises to improve your ability to set and install an injection

pump to an engine, examine injection timing, bleed injection system components,

and do compression testing. You'll also go over fundamentals like lubricants and

fluids, automotive systems, equipment safety requirements, relevant company

policies, personal safety requirements, manual handling techniques, cleaning

methods and materials, engine operation principles, servicing inspection

checklist, and positive work values like honesty, perseverance and attention to

details.
B. KNOWLEDGE / LEARNING ACQUIRED

Upon completion of this module I shall be able to set up and connect the

injection pump to the engine, examine the injection time, components of a bleed

injection system and carry out compression tests. All standards of performance for

doing diesel engine tune-ups are in line with business standard operating

procedures and manufacturer's specification manuals, and are performed with the

tools and equipment indicated. A tune up can help your car save money on gas.

Lower the expense of automobile maintenance. Improve the performance of the

engine. Breakdowns on the road may be avoided.

C. OBSERVATION

Your car may not be as reliable or efficient as it should be if regular

maintenance and inspection are not conducted on it. An engine that has been fine-

tuned performs at its best. Engine components that impact performance are

examined and changed during a tune-up. Spark plugs ignite the gasoline/air

combination in your engine by generating an electrical spark. They generate a

huge amount of voltage and heat, which they must be able to resist. Your engine

may slow if the spark plugs aren't operating correctly, and it may even fail to start.

The spark plug wires are also crucial. They must be capable of transferring and

enduring the voltage generated by the spark plug. They can burn out and cause a

misfire if they are old.

D. RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTION

Despite the fact that diesel engines do not require ignition tune-ups and

tend to run longer without major problems than gasoline engines, they do require

regular low-cost maintenance, mostly in the form of frequent oil and filter

changes. If you perform the same thing with a diesel engine, you could wind up

with a prematurely dead engine. When it comes to most diesel vehicles, the

recommended service period is about every 3,000 miles or 6 months, whichever

comes first. However, this service interval can differ quite significantly depending

on the make and model of your car, as well as how much you drive.
