What are the crank times on a 2005 DT466?

We have 2 of the 2005-2006 DT466s, when cold, long cranking times then an unnerving high speed rev up and black smoke till they settle down are the norm. They are one of the reasons we switched to 5W-40 motor oil, both to make me feel better about the cold high speed rev up and to help with the cold cranking speed.

I have had a small problem with it before, usually first thing in the AM. But now it doesn’t want to start no matter what time of the day it is.

Why does my 466 pump have a hard time starting?

You probably have a leak on your high pressure oil rail. More than likely, needs a new o-ring set. The 466 uses oil to hydraulicly actuate your injectors. Once the o-rings start to leak, the high pressure pump has a hard time building pressure to actuate the injectors. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds to finally build enough pressure to start.

The exception to that is a wiring problem with the IPR valve, since system voltage drops significantly during cranking, the IPR valve is suseptable to malfunction because of low voltage during cranking even tho there is no defect with the valve itself.
