Machine came in to the shop, not running.
Customer says I think I need a new injection pump. Entry level tech draws the straw and pulls the pump off the engine.
So you can see that's it's now an instructional aid..,
The tech quotes the pump to the customer who agrees to. The tech puts the new pump on and fires it up, it has a decent fuel knock and fuel pump timing fault code.
After he futzs with it and re-times the pump now it won't start.
I get the Bat signal and show up after a shit job we're I got over heated so I didn't have my loving delivery.
I take one look at the situation and ask "you didn't replace the injectors lines etc. when the pump literally exploded?"
To which he says no "they " didn't want to. I retort who the fuck is they?
They is the supervisor who obviously is not a expert mechanic.
I take a breath and say well what's it doing? He says won't start but pops like it's trying. I say let's disconnect the crank speed sensor and running it on the cam only.
So he does that and it fires right up, actually sounded pretty good, no obvious knock.
As it's sitting there idling I say rev it a little, he revs it to 1800 or say and you gear it make a grinding noise then a squeal and the engine is brought to a halt, not like it died, it STOPPED.
I bust out laughing and say that pump is fucked now too
Entry level kid says nunt ugh I said ugh huh
Try to crank it, acts like the battery is dead
I run a data log real quick, 0 psi rail pressure, yep it's fucked.
I tell him pull it back off let's see wtf happened.
He gets it back off, in record time really, and as he sets it on the bench aluminum shavings pour out the return port. I explain how it was really just "wacky" that you guys put a new pump on a fuel system that failed it's pump so bad it exploded but you didn't think it was important to clean or replace any of the rest of the fuel system. I explained I'm saying wacky instead of retarded...
