It will be dead for shure. It will set codes recomend fixing problem.
If you have a bad injector, chances are that you will also have a dead cylinder. Auto zone can check that for free if your engine light is on!Good luck!
Locate which cylinder is dead, remove the spark plug, if the spark plug is bone dry the injector is probably not working.
mine did the same it turned out to be the injector
It is the volume of air in Diesel engine or the mixture of air and gasoline in petrol engine induced by the cylinder while moving down from the top dead center to the bottom dead center in intake stroke. Calculation: bore of the cylinder squared * pi * crank radius / 4 [Cm 3]
F350 is a Ford. Why is fuel getting into the crankcase? Dead cylinder and it is running past the rings. If that's not your question, rephrase it and ask again.
You may have a bad fuel injector. Try to single out which cylinder is dead, then remove that spark plug, if the plug is clean and dry you have a faulty fuel injector.
Run a compression test before you spend too much time checking out other potential problems. If the compression tests good, try swapping the fuel injector with a good cylinder and see if the dead cylinder moves.
Could be a dead fuel injector.
Each cylinder has a top dead center position.
Diesel engines, unlike gas engines do not have any spark plugs. The reason that they do not need a spark plug is because in diesel engines, the air is compressed much, much more than in a gas engine. The more that you compress the air, the more that the air is heated. Diesel engines have so much compression that the air inside of your cylinder becomes super heated and there is no need for a spark plug. The air is so hot that when the diesel fuel is injected into the cylinder, the diesel fuel ignites and the piston is pushed down via the "explosion" that takes place when the piston reaches tdc(top dead center). Because of this, diesel engines need to warm up. This is why diesel engines have glow plugs. The glow plugs warm the block and help the engine to heat up faster.
It can mean one of two things; it is either has a three-cylinder engine, or perhaps a four cylinder engine where one isn't working. A "cylinder" is the part of an internal combustion engine (gas engine) where the power is generated. If you are asking WHY one of the cylinders wouldn't work, several causes are; fouled spark plug, clogged or dead fuel injector, bad or loose spark plug wire, bad ignition coil for that cylinder.
Diesel fuel ignites at approximately 480 F. The compression of the air as the piston rises results in heating of the air (feel how a bicycle tire pump gets warm when you are pumping). A little bit after top dead center (TDC) the injector sprays the fuel into the chamber and the fuel ignites from the heat. When a diesel engine is cold, it is usually necessary to temporarily burn an electric heating element (glow plug) in the combustion chamber in order to get the engine started.
