Cold start of my uncles route bus. He confirmed with me that it always does this in the cold. Won't go anywhere till it has warmed up for about an hour. T444E.
I see the "Warn engine" light popped on at 1:35. The t444e buses my previous bus company ALWAYS did this and it was due to SHEER NEGLECT. Often whenever the engine light came on, there was no pedal response. They really know how to run a bus to the ground, and then some!!!! They needed injectors, computers, and glow plugs, which they of course were too cheap/lazy to invest in. All they ever did was spray ether to try and start these, which is a complete NO-NO!!!!
+sk8ersbus1 NEVER put ether into a bus with glow plugs. Yeah our mechanics don't care for any of our buses as they should. But wonder why they have such bad luck. But this January the new Superintendent will be put in. And hes already said half of our Bus garage staff will be canned.
The light’s on in the dash. It sounds like there’s a cylinder misfiring and that means some new injectors. Even if you plug it in it will do that and there’s no pedal response so it’s not just having to plug them in.
I used to ride in a international bluebird 3800 school bus in ohio but they retired that old girl but she still running round the city with no problem at all
Are those air actuated accelerators or something? Sounds strange I know, but old Leyland buses apparently used them as part of the British massive overcomplication of anything of the time.
Yes you can plug that model in but I believe your E.C. U is bad unfortunately the 1990's internationals all with the 7.5 liters in them need to be plugged in because the Electronic Computer Unit is telling the bus it's too cold to run in high idol so the gas pedal won't respond because it's has an safety to keep the operator from damaging the motor that's to cold to run at high rpm but the E.C.U also controls the fireing order of the glow plugs when it goes bad even at 40 ' the bus will still do the same thing it was just doing Also you may not have the right diesel in the tank it may be the summer blend and not the needed winter blend made to keep fuel line freeze up from happing
+Courtney Hardy Well our mechanics here don't care for the buses as thy should so, sadly alot of our buses don't start in the cold. They keep sub buses running overnight just because of that.
Courtney Hardy I've always had to plug them in it must not get nearly as cold as where I live but if the computer reads it's to cold that engine will not run right or at all but i also believe that bus in the video had summer diesel in it as well as a bad ecu
