Oh great! I had assumed since that Kukje was a tier 4 engine, it would have emissions stuff / common rail injection etc. But I just got the parts book, and you're right, she's mechanical. Thanks a bunch!You don't need ANY, it is a mechanical IDI engine, the only ECM in the system is the one managing the exhaust flap that will close when a forced regen is needed. Else the motor and fuel system is totally clueless of it's surroundings. I have the N/A Kukje A2300N4 and I haven't had a regen request in 320h.
easiest way to deal with that style if you cant get it to rev above 2k rpms, is to remove the center section of the filter medium, and first blow it out with compressed air to get the loose particulates, then set the filter in a catch pan and pour clean diesel over it ad let it sit for 30 minutes or so this will grab what cant be blown out by air alone, then once its dry again blow it out once more and reinstall it, you should now be able to rev past 2k, if you can rev it up to as close to 3k rpms you can and let it sit and run for 45-60 mins( depends on how dirty it actually is) if you cant repeat the steps above until you can. if that still doesnt work, it will need to be replaced.Thanks for the clarity guys! I had never heard of a mechanical engine with a DPF. That was throwing me. Then, I heard there is no software, and that left me wondering how I force a regen? It turns out there is software, but I can’t get it. Thanks Eric for clearing that part up! Hold up, I thought we cleared up this right to repair business already or is that still in the courts?
