I have already replaced the vapor solenoid you are speaking of after the place it was purchased from many years ago diagnosed that for $450... and wanted $1100 additional to replace. And the tech boogered the wires with regular meter probes instead of piercing probes... I did replace it with a brand new one for much less, but the vapor solenoid is not bad, it is not getting the PWM voltage, I tested next to my neighbors fully operational FG15HT-20, theirs gets a PWM signal during cranking and at idle, but does not get it for initial key on like some have said..


RPM sensor - I have changed both the cam and crank rpm sensors.
Thermostat? do you mean temp sensor? I guess a faulty temp sensor could tell the engine not to give fuel... I can check that.

Next steps:
1 - hook a PWM injector pulse tester to the vapor solenoid and see if it passes fuel, it should, it may even start and run a bit
2 - trace the vapor solenoid power and ground wire to the ECM and verify not a bad connection


Since mine is a 2007 model, I believe it does not have the separate LP controller, and that function is built into the PCM, but a replacement PCM is $2000. I would send mine in for repair, but I have a funny feeling about all the places promising to fix for $4-600..

For a $2000 new part, I think I will pay to have a Komatsu authorized repair center replace it and make sure they give me back my old part and I can try to have it fixed for a spare...

Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
