    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    Sorry for taking so long to get back to you guys about this machine, but it still has the same hard starting issue. I did finally get around to checking for parasitic hydraulic loads and the test was good. I also checked the exhaust temps with a thermal imager and it all seemed to heat up...

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    You know I would say you are on to something because I kinda thought the same thing about it being part ECU and part wiring harness, but I removed the terminals one at a time from the ECU connector and the cam sensor connector ran a separate harness outside away from the factory harness. I...

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    It has good oil pressure while cranking, and will set a code for oil pressure out of range high. I don't remember the code number but it basically says the engine has oil pressure and the engine is not running. Thanks for all posts.

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    It doesn't use any oil, and once it starts it runs fine with no power issues what so ever. So without actually doing a compression test I can't say for sure but I would think if i had low compression I would have other problems as well. I have not had a chance to look at it yet but hopefully...

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    I checked all the sensors and switches with the EMU and they all seem to be working fine.

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    We have owned the machine since new and the engine has never had any work done to it as far as internal goes. The starting issue is all we have messed with besides normal service work. I did remove the valve cover here a few months back when the issue worsened and changed the injector harness...

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    It has just over 1100 hours on it, and as mg2361 posted there are no adjustment for valve lash. I wish it would be that easy though. Thanks

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    I cleaned all grounds and connections to the starter. The battery is only about 2 years old and it seems to crank fine. I have checked all connections for pushed or corroded terminals and everything looks good. All the tests that the dealer did per service advisor came back good as well. I...

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    Yeah it's been like this from new but it was very intermittent and i know them problems are hard to track especially when there is no codes. It didn't really get bad until this past winter and i just kinda thought it was a sensor or fuel issue but it actually starts better when it's cold. Once...

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    The only things I didn't look at is the exhaust temps and parasitic hyd loads. the cranking speed is good according to the dealer and they also ran a miss fire test and said it was good. I checked and cleaned all fuses and relays, plus the new harness had all new fuses and relays in it and I...

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    The Crank sensor is mounted on the RH side of the block and reads off a tone wheel that is pressed onto the crankshaft. I did pry on the tone wheel through the sensor hole to make sure it wasn't loose, and when I had the dealer time it up since they thought it may be a timing issue and you have...

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    It is a 2011 model so it is out of warranty of course. The real thing that gets me is it has been doing this since it was new and they came out and looked at it several times, but it was not this bad. At first it only started hard after running it for a long time and shutting it off and then...

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    The only code that sets while cranking is ECU 636.10, camshaft position signal rate of change abnormal. The fuel pressure was one of the first things I checked and it seemed to be fine, but I went ahead and changed the check valve anyway. The fuel pressure holds about 28-30psi while running...

    Hard starting 328D John Deere skid steer

    Hi guys, this is jack01. I have a 328D John Deere skid steer that is extremely hard to start. It will crank for at least 20-30 seconds at a time before it will start, and sometimes i have to hit it several times before it will go. I have taken it to the local dealer and they had no luck at...
