INTRODUCTION
15-1. This chapter deals with troubles encountered in starting an engine and those encountered after an
engine is started. The troubles discussed in this chapter are those that can be corrected without major overhaul
or repair. Troubles that also can be identified by erratic operation of the engine, by warnings indicated by the
instruments, and by inspection of engine parts and systems are also discussed. Remember that these troubles
are general and may or may not apply to a particular diesel engine. When working with a specific engine,
check the applicable technical manual (TM) for that engine.
