Diesel Engine Testing with Precision You Can Trust

Diesel engines demand the right tools and the right experience — and at Performance Place, we’ve got both. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment, including Snap-On, Autel, Matco Maximus, Ford OEM, and Mac Scout tools, to quickly identify issues without unnecessary disassembly or part-swapping.


We evaluate core systems like fuel injection, turbochargers, EGR/DPF/DEF emissions components, and electrical systems to uncover the actual cause of performance issues, warning lights, or drivability concerns. With clear test results and expert insights, you’ll get honest recommendations based on facts — not guesses — so you can make smart, informed decisions about your diesel vehicle.

Common Symptoms of Diesel Engine Problems

Diesel engines are powerful and built to last — but when something goes wrong, it’s usually tied to one of a few critical systems. Here are some of the most common issues we diagnose and repair at Performance Place:

Fuel System Problems

Hard starting or no-start — Often caused by weak fuel pressure, air in the lines, or failing glow plugs.
Poor fuel economy — May point to dirty injectors, injector timing issues, or worn-out fuel filters.
Fuel knock or rough idle — Leaking or failing injectors can cause loud knocking and uneven engine operation.

Turbocharger & Air Intake Issues

Loss of power or slow acceleration — A failing turbo or clogged air filter may restrict airflow.
Whistling or whining noises — Turbo bearings or seals may be worn.
Black smoke from the exhaust — Often a sign of an airflow imbalance or restricted boost pressure.

Emissions & DEF/DPF System Failures

Check engine light or limp mode — Common with clogged DPF filters or failing EGR valves.
Excessive regeneration cycles — A clogged system may require manual regen or cleaning.
DEF warning lights — May indicate sensor failure or contamination in the DEF tank.

Electrical & Sensor-Related Issues

Unreliable starting or sudden stalling — Can be caused by faulty crankshaft or camshaft position sensors.
Erratic throttle response — Electronic throttle or pedal position sensors may be failing.
Glow plug light stays on — Indicates glow plug failure or a problem in the pre-heat system.

Oil & Cooling System Concerns

Blue smoke from the exhaust — Usually a sign of oil burning from worn turbo seals or valve guides.
Coolant loss without visible leaks — May indicate a failed EGR cooler or internal head gasket leak.
Oil leaks around turbo or valve cover — High-pressure diesel systems can expose weak seals quickly.
