Would this cause a throttle issue? My dad has a 95 model Volvo with a 12.7 Detroit. The engine fires right up and runs and sounds good. And if your sitting still you can rev it up and everything. Then when you take off you can shift to maybe 3rd gear or so and at about 1500 rpm the throttle just goes dead. And the only thing that makes the throttle come back is turning the engine off then re-starting. Dad has changed fuel filters, throttle position sensor, and the 2 sensors towards the front of the engine. Like what I call the crank sensor and cam sensor. (May be called something else on a Detroit). Still haven't figured out the issue but the truck is un-drivable at this point. I'd also like to add that my truck broke down in Dallas, TX and I had to call a wrecker to tow my truck home. Dad brought the Volvo to get my trailer and drove the truck about 120 miles to Dallas and it never missed a beat. Then he hooked on to my trailer and we kept losing throttle pedal. Spent all night on the side of the highway working on it and eventually had to call a wrecker to tow it home and got one of my buddies to repower the load with his truck.
Great video, thanks. I have 60 series engine, I loose power for seconds & black smoke.. then the truck run normal, then the same thing happens again. What you think the problem?
@@DONTCALLMETHAT yes. I got it fix, I'm trying to remember what I fix exactly.. I have bad memory, something has to do with the air, I think it was air leak on the blue hoses & the pipe between the hoses was rusted, I think that was the problem. Also; after that I discover the actuator value (in the turbo) is not working properly. I change the turbo.. the truck is fine now. You start checking the air & the fuel before you do anything, the problem is there. Make sure to check the actuator value in the turbo.
@@TANKERMONKEY, thanks for the info. What about the intake tube that goes from Inter cooler to your intake manifold. I’ll like to find a solid pipe like yours. Mine has a rubber one.
Great video Question: I have a 1992 international Detroit 60 12.7, My truck is having this issue where it turns on but won’t accelerate and then turns off. We were thinking it was this sensor that needed replacing but now I’m lose for words. We came across your video and cleaned the turbo sensor but still nothing. Can I ask your opinion on this issue?
@@TANKERMONKEY mine have that problem, empty runs perfect but loaded with 40k pounds is a turtle 🐢 I will replace the turbo actuator this weekend and I will replace the boots sensor too, thanks bro 😎
Question: 2008 Western star Detroit 60 14L similar issue. While rolling I hear a noise almost like blow off But it isn't. Turbo boost drops, truck runs limp, black smoke, valve chatter, check engine light on..... I press the clutch, coast safely to the shoulder, sit there and in maybe 30 seconds, engine light goes off, truck guess back to normal. Any help? I was told maybe turbo actuator acting up
Definitely could be actuator check boost line hose going to actuator those variable vane turbos get clogged and can have issues that sometimes a good cleaning will fix next I would check fuel system and injectors not that familiar with 14L
Detroit 60 series engine stall rpm low not increasing above 1500 rpm reason of,we all checked hosses,all is ok,no any errors related the engine sensors,wht the next suggest
there's to crankcase pressure sensors, one behind the compressor and one under manifold. There's vids on UA-cam, but these sensors are known to go bad, crank but no start.
It depends on what the waste gate is set for most people shoot for 30lbs mine does 22-25 of course check boots and leak test check O ring if all is good have waste hate checked out and turbo seals
Mine has gone from 30psi to barely 20psi I can hear a leak but can’t seem to find it since I’m driving when I hear it. How did you pressurized your system to check for leak if you don’t mind me asking.

Check fuel pump pressures :
Idle 25lbs. pressure
Full throttle , no load 60 lbs. pressure
Check for debris in the fuel restriction fitting at the rear of cylinder head .
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family

It works in my case! Thanks a lot for a video!!!
Thank you for your kindness…..

Doing the same thing occasionally.

@@mustang4928 ok I'll look into that. Thank you for responding
God bless you 😊
We’re you burning fuel before? And what’s your fuel mileage after?
Imma have try this out cause mine even when its empty it feels like a dog
Did you hear a weird noise coming from your engine when going up to 1450-1500 rpm when changing gears
Very nice engine sir.
Thank you this was my problem
Great video, thank you!
did the sound resemble an air silenoid? I have been having a strange popping noise coming from mine under boost changed turbo, cac, and qll boots
Not really just loud hissing
That sounds like waste gate noise
The problem turn to be with the E G R, we disconnect the cable ... the truck 🚚 works 💪 now.
Thank you so much 💓
@@TANKERMONKEY I wish it would have I replaced the turbo with a nonwastegated and same thing
The biggest problem with such a simple fix is that the screws break of in the intake manifold all the time
Was it running bad all the time or just under a load thanks for the video super informative
seemed sluggish all the time almost like had a brake hung up
Where can I find that air pipe from cooler to intake? Thanks for the video btw!
upper drivers side you will test from the fron of turbo pipe going to CAC

that sure sounds like fuel or a fuel related issue this would be more a loss of power under load
pull the fuel pump off and check the pump drive link between pump and air compressor, it may be broke,after many miles they break!
@@TANKERMONKEY mine have that problem, empty runs perfect but loaded with 40k pounds is a turtle 🐢 I will replace the turbo actuator this weekend and I will replace the boots sensor too, thanks bro 😎
What is silaglide and what does it do?
it is a silicone/petroleum jelly that seals and helps protect O rings and rubber products from dry rotting
What should the boost be on a series 60?
i got the same question
25psi on a bone stock engine. I have a built 12.7, cam, ceramic coated pistons, blueprinted injectors, fuel mapping etc and I'm pushing 46psi.

Did he do this because he was loosing boost

My truck sluggish, i can feel its not making the boost its suppose to, my Detroit is a 14L 515hp but it feels like its only making 300hp😢😢😢😢
wher can you buy one of the turbo booster sensor at.
Amazon like $45 if new O ring doesn’t work
My detroit 60 series engine... It starts and switch off after some seconds. What can be the cause?
sounds like fuel line or filter is clogged
My detroit series60 just shut off while running Doesn't want to turn on it cranks but no start
I’d pull and check the ECM connections
@@TANKERMONKEY ama do that
there's to crankcase pressure sensors, one behind the compressor and one under manifold. There's vids on UA-cam, but these sensors are known to go bad, crank but no start.
Also it's showing a code that says eng controller no response 128s254 07
Thanks
I'm only getting 22 lb of boost on a 60 series. What is the average boost for a 60 series

25psi is normal for a bone stock engine, many late 90s 12.7s are non waste gate turbos.
