hey all. we've got a cat 320d that is not working properly. cat mechanic says the prv is not being actuated, so the engine overloads and stalls when operating. for the applications we use it this is a problem as the work it does is heavy work, operator must be careful to not stall it.
the official cat mechanic says circuitry is good, we replaced the chassis module after a electrical storm reduced it to crap. all the sensors necessary are reading correctly, the prv has been replaced or rather he tested a new one and the problem persists, everything electrical seems okay (as per his word)
the only thing is that the pumps are set differently, when idling, one has 4300kpa and the other around 5600 5700kpa, and that the return line gets rather hot...he mentioned this was next in the list of things to test, but the flowmeter is expensive to rent, like, very expensive around here.
so is this problem related to the pumps not being set equally? or some other witchery going on here? thanks
