Running rough when warm

need help with Linde H40D no error codes, engine starts excellent and runs good cold but once unit is warm the engine sputters and misses and eventually looses power. Glow plug indicator lamp is blinking all the time even when engine is warm.

Hi Darren;
Are some of the effects you expierenced engine stall, erratic running, preheating indicator light flashing, and high emission(odor)? If this is the case Pathfinder without the proper interface cable will not be of any value to you. Check the truck for line interrution or line to earth short circuit, OB2 defective, OB2 loose, metal chips at OB2, or the gap between speed sensor (OB2) and sensor wheel too great.

change the fuel filters and any fuel hoses that show signs of cracking when you bend the hose.
