ConstructionDiagnostics & Troubleshooting4HighOwner$ implied
Skid steer loader engine cuts off when returning to idle despite replacing fuel system components and confirming fuel pressure.
Existing diagnostic methods rely on visual inspection of fuel lines and pressure checks without integrated sensor data or guided troubleshooting.

Workarounds Described
- Installed clear hose to visually inspect fuel for air bubbles
- Replaced lift pump twice based on pressure observation
Implied Software Gaps
- Software that logs fuel pressure data over time and correlates with engine speed to automatically detect fuel starvation events
- Guided troubleshooting tool that integrates model-specific known issues like filter housing and lift pump failures
App Concept
DieselDoc Pro
A mobile diagnostic app for diesel equipment that guides mechanics through systematic troubleshooting steps and uses OBD-II and fuel pressure sensor data to pinpoint root causes. Replaces guesswork with algorithmic diagnostics and shared community case studies.
Key Features
- Step-by-step troubleshooting workflow based on symptoms and vehicle model
- Integration with Bluetooth fuel pressure and OBD-II sensors
- Community-submitted case library with resolution rates
- Parts and service manual lookup integration
Target Users: Heavy equipment owners and mechanics in construction and agriculture with fleet sizes of 1-10 machines
Revenue Model: $29/month per user subscription or $199/year
