or any other situation where oil or debris get into the
charge air cooler, the charge air cooler must be
cleaned internally.

direction opposite of normal air flow.(4) Shake the cooler and lightly tap on the end
tanks with a rubber mallet to dislodge trapped
debris.
(5) Continue flushing until all debris or oil are
removed.
(6) Rinse the cooler with hot soapy water to
remove any remaining solvent.
(7) Rinse thoroughly with clean water and blow
dry with compressed air.
INSPECTION
Visually inspect the charge air cooler for cracks,
holes, or damage. Inspect the tubes, fins, and welds
for tears, breaks, or other damage. Replace the
charge air cooler if damage is found.
Pressure test the charge air cooler, using Charge
Air Cooler Tester Kit #3824556. This kit is available
through CumminstService Products. Instructions
are provided with the kit.

DESCRIPTIONÐFUEL PUMP 235 H.P.
The fuel injection pump is mounted to the rear of
the timing gear housing on the left side of engine
(Fig. 15).
OPERATION
The Bosch VP44 fuel injection pump (Fig. 16) is a
solenoid-valve controlled-radial-piston-distributor
type pump.
The injection pump is driven by the engine cam-
shaft. A gear on the end of the pump shaft meshes
with the camshaft gear. The pump is timed to the
engine. The VP44 is controlled by an integral (and
non-serviceable) Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM)
(Fig. 15). The FPCM can operate the engine as an
engine controller if a Crankshaft Position Sensor
(CKP) signal is not present.
Fuel from the transfer (lift) pump enters the VP44
where it is pressurized and then distributed through
high-pressure lines to the fuel injectors. The VP44 is
cooled by the fuel that flows through it. A greater
quantity of fuel is required for cooling the VP44 than
what is necessary for engine operation. Because of
this, approximately 70 percent of fuel entering the
pump is returned to the fuel tank through the over-
flow valve and fuel return line. Refer to Overflow
Valve Description/Operation for additional informa-
tion.The VP44 is not self-priming. At least two fuel
injectors must be bled to remove air from the system.
When servicing the fuel system, disconnecting compo-
nents up to the pump will usually not require air
bleeding from the fuel system. However, removal of
the high-pressure lines, removal of the VP44 pump,
or allowing the vehicle to completely run out of fuel,
will require bleeding air from the high-pressure lines
at the fuel injectors.
VP44 timing is matched to engine timing by an off-
set keyway that fits into the pump shaft. This key-
way has a stamped number on it that is matched to
a number on the VP44 pump (each keyway is cali-
brated to each pump).
When removing/installing the VP44, the same
numbered keyway must always be installed.
Also, the arrow on the top of the keyway should
be installed pointed rearward towards the
pump.
Because of electrical control, the injection pump
high and low idle speeds are not adjustable. Also,
adjustment of fuel pump timing is not required and
is not necessary.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐFUEL INJECTION
PUMP TIMING
With the Bosch VP44 injection pump, there are no
mechanical adjustments needed for fuel injection tim-
ing. All timing and fuel adjustments are made by the
Engine Control Module (ECM). However, if a Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) has been stored indicating
an ªengine sync errorº or a ªstatic timing errorº, per-
form the following.
