    A stuck open fuel injector can cause a hydraulic lock condition in an engine where fuel gets trapped in the cylinder and prevents it from turning over. To address this, technicians should remove spark plugs, manually rotate the engine, check compression in each cylinder, and remove and check fuel injectors for leakage. Further disassembly may be needed if a cylinder shows low compression to determine damage from the hydraulic lock.

    Group 11 B 11 01 92 (3484) Woodcliff Lake, NJ January 1992

    Engine Product Engineering

    SUBJECT: Engine Hydraulic Lock

    Engines: All

    Situation: A fuel injector which is subject to a mechanical malfunction and


    remains stuck in the open position may cause an engine hydraulic lock
    condition, i.e. the engine will no longer turn over due to the
    noncompressible liquid fuel which is trapped in the cylinder.

    Correction: If a vehicle is towed into the workshop with a suspected hydraulic lock
    condition, the following repair tips should be applied:

    z Remove the spark plugs and rotate the engine manually. Caution:
    Do not crank engine over with the starter. Fire hazard due to
    possible liquid fuel in a cylinder.

    z Check the compression of all cylinders.

    Testing conditions:

    Battery in perfect condition.


    Engine warm - coolant temperature maximum of 95пїЅ F (35пїЅ C).
    Accelerator pedal fully depressed when cranking engine.

    See appropriate Repair Manual (Group 11) for further information


    regarding main/fuel pump relay(s) which must be removed to disable
    the ignition system and fuel pump(s) before cranking and also special
    tools/adaptors used for the compression check.

    Crank the engine until the compressor gauge indicator stops rising.

    The compression pressures should be approx. equal for all cylinders


    (10-11 bar/143-156 psi). If the compression pressures are all within
    specification, check the engine oil for fuel dilution and replace if
    necessary.

    Note: If the compression is lower i.e. �t; 10 bar (143 psi) in the
    cylinder in which a "stuck open" injector has been diagnosed, that
    piston/connecting rod may have been damaged due to the hydraulic
    lock.

    z Remove all of the fuel injectors and check the leakage rate as
    outlined in S.I. 13 08 90 (3096).

    z Further engine tear down should be carried out to determine the


    cause of low compression in the affected cylinder, i.e. bent
    connecting rod, damaged piston, etc. as outlined in the repair
    manual.

    z The starter drive and ring gear should also be checked for
    damage, i.e. missing or stripped teeth.
