Product Overview
Hard starting, unstable idle, power loss under load, or commanded-versus-actual rail-pressure faults can lead to the metering valve once filters, supply pressure, wiring, rail sensor data, injectors, and the high-pressure pump are tested. The valve controls how much fuel enters the high-pressure pump.
Because contaminated fuel can damage both the valve and pump, installing a new part without addressing debris or water can cause a repeat failure. Confirm engine serial number, pump version, connector, valve tip, and cross-reference before opening the high-pressure system.

- Fuel-metering solenoid for the high-pressure pump inlet
- Controls delivered fuel volume and rail-pressure response
- Compatible with listed DD-series common-rail systems
- Direct cross-reference to Detroit and Bosch numbers
- Includes the valve body and mounting hardware shown

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Model, production date, serial number, engine or equipment configuration, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original part, identifying numbers, dimensions, connections, and mounting details before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this valve cause idle hunting? A: Yes. A sticking metering valve can upset rail pressure, but injectors, sensors, supply pressure, and pump wear must also be checked.
Q: Does it fit DD16 as well as DD13 and DD15? A: Yes, compatible DD16 applications are included when the original valve and pump number match.
Q: What if metal is found in the fuel system? A: Do not install only a valve. Metal can indicate pump failure and requires the complete contamination procedure.
Q: Does this require programming? A: The mechanical replacement may not be programmed, but fault clearing, priming, and diagnostic verification should follow the engine service information.
