But when putting a new air compressor on does the timing need set to the engine ! Or are the new compressor pre set and no time setting necessary ??

Sometimes when at idle it will shut off, however, it starts right back up if you hit the start button. It is almost like the computer is shutting off the fuel for a split second.

I was driving down the road about 10 mins after idling and felt a sudden loss in power steering. I managed to get it off the road, but thereafter lost all air pressure and obviously couldn't move it.<br /><br />I assumed my air compressor is shot and that's what the roadside big truck repairman said. We filled the air tank with a different compressor and got it home, but I'm wanting to make sure that's the problem and not the governor or anything else. Also, any suggestions on the best place to find a replacement air compressor for that model?<br /><br />Thanks!Jon Tettletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986672997168439534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449820.post-7608234324445919162016-03-16T21:52:07.476-07:002016-03-16T21:52:07.476-07:00On the DT466 it looks like the injection timing is...On the DT466 it looks like the injection timing is way off.

He had all six injectors replaced, it will crank but not start. Every once in a while it tries to fire. After reading your post I am guessing it has an oil pressure problem. If the bus has been sitting for a long time, could the oil pumps have lost prime? Would starting it on either assist the oil pressure pump with getting prime? Any other suggestions, like run baby run.....<br /><br />David J<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449820.post-36807507610317316412015-09-03T20:48:40.069-07:002015-09-03T20:48:40.069-07:00I agree with you on the idm.

It's a trade in itself working on fuel injection pumps.<br /><br />Re and re on a At545 in a bluebird should be around 4 hours if everything goes smoothly. Also depends if you have the tools and proper jack.<br /><br />Interesting....regarding the DT466E cutting out. Electrical problem comes to mind and I would check out the wiring harness under the valve cover running the electronic injectors. With the cover removed and engine running start tugging on the injector harness and see if anything happens. Good luck!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517188475250181833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449820.post-59497545386943797252015-07-12T18:45:52.263-07:002015-07-12T18:45:52.263-07:00Hello John.....I have a 2001 4700 International bu...Hello John.....I have a 2001 4700 International bucket truck with a DT 466E motor. A month ago it started cutting out while driving but would cut right back on. It started doing this a couple times a week but now has gotten worse. It cuts off now going down the road then sit for a minute and will crank back up. Then it will run for several miles and sometimes it will do it again but then it wont. Does this while sitting still as well. I have changed the positive cross over on the battery with the fusses and changed the ingnition switch. Have giggled every wire on truck while it was running but have not found the problem. My next step is changing the cam sensor. What do you think may be the problem? Truck has automatic transmission and I disconnected the emergency power for the bucket on the back.

Since they are electronic hydraulic injection systems you may have to get into them eventually. One repair we have made on them is replacing the injector seals which isn't a hard job.
