Why my MTU 12V2000M86106 does not reach full load speed?
- N
  Nicole MyersAug 20, 2025
  If your MTU Engine isn't reaching full load speed, several factors could be responsible. A blocked fuel supply could be the issue; ensure the shutoff valve upstream of the fuel prefilter is completely open. The fuel prefilter or the easy-change fuel filter might be clogged and need replacement. A clogged air filter could also be the cause, so check the signal ring position of the contamination indicator. Other potential issues include a faulty injector, a faulty injection pump, faulty engine wiring, or an overload. In the case of a faulty injection pump or overload, contact Service.
