This may be caused by one or more of the following: System-related conditions identified using the Diesel Engine Performance Chart, Fuel injection pump contamination or Use of low lubricity fuel. ACTION Use the Diesel Engine Performance Chart and the following procedure to diagnose and repair the stall condition. NOTE DO NOT REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP UNLESS: INJECTION PUMP TIMING ADVANCE IS NOT AT SPECIFICATION (REFER TO ENGINE PERFORMANCE CHART), OR INJECTION PUMP TRANSFER PRESSURE (MEASURED AT THE RPM DESIGNATED ON THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE CHART) IS NOT AT SPECIFICATION. Perform vehicle road test to verify effectiveness of any corrections made during the diagnostic procedure.
