Troubleshooting Engine Miss on a 710-D Excavator
#1
Introduction
Owners of the 710-D excavator sometimes face engine performance issues such as engine miss or rough running. These problems can affect productivity and cause concern for operators. This article summarizes common causes and troubleshooting steps shared by experienced users to help identify and resolve engine miss issues.
Common Causes of Engine Miss
Engine miss in the 710-D can result from several factors, including:
  • Fuel System Problems: Contaminated fuel, clogged fuel filters, or faulty fuel injectors can disrupt proper fuel delivery and cause misfires or rough running.
  • Ignition Issues: Problems with spark plugs or ignition timing (in gasoline engines) can lead to engine miss.
  • Air Intake and Exhaust: Blocked air filters or exhaust restrictions can starve the engine of air, leading to incomplete combustion.
  • Sensor and Electrical Faults: Faulty sensors or wiring issues may send incorrect signals to the engine control system, affecting performance.
Diagnostic Steps
Start by checking the fuel quality and replacing fuel filters. Inspect the fuel injectors for clogging or leakage. Next, examine the air filter and replace it if dirty or clogged. For engines with spark plugs, verify their condition and replace if worn.
Monitoring error codes from the engine control module can provide clues about sensor or electrical faults. Repairing or replacing faulty sensors and ensuring all electrical connections are secure may restore proper engine function.
Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance is critical to preventing engine miss issues. This includes timely replacement of fuel and air filters, using clean fuel, and checking ignition components as per the manufacturer’s schedule. Keeping the engine clean and inspecting wiring harnesses for damage also helps maintain reliable operation.
Conclusion
Engine miss in the 710-D excavator can stem from various causes, most commonly related to fuel delivery, air intake, or electrical systems. Systematic troubleshooting combined with regular maintenance helps diagnose and resolve these issues, ensuring smoother and more efficient machine operation.
