    5.0 GXI fault code SPN: 701 FMI 3

    Solved. I took off the trim sensor and adjusted it so the gauge was in range and the code cleared and never came back.

    5.0 GXI fault code SPN: 701 FMI 3

    I have a VP 2012 Chap with the same issue. That code is auxillary #1, trim sensor high voltage error. I am actually troubleshooting it right now. I will be running and get a short beep and display warning, then it will go out. My manual says there is a 3 wire circuit with a resistor on that...

    SPN 520202 -701 trim sensor voltage problem

    I have the code SPN=701 / 520202, 3. This is a high voltage on the trim sensor. I tried disconnecting the sensor at the stern and still getting the error. I get a soft code warning beep, then it clears itself. The manual says there is a resistor. Any ideas on troubleshooting this? I would just...

    2012 5.0gxic-270-r wont start. 14 beeps when I turn the key on

    SOLVED - There were multiple issues so it made it hard to solve - Huge thanks to Curt and alldodge!! After fixing all the electronics and getting spark and fuel I saw that the cranking speed on the starter was slow. I did compression tests on all cylinders and found they were very uneven. I...

    2012 5.0gxic-270-r wont start. 14 beeps when I turn the key on

    I tried staring fluid and no fire - I used a spark plug tester and got very intermittent week spark when I cranked. I used the scanner to fire each injector and they all fired. I smell gas on the plugs - put in 8 new AC 41-101. And the Tach doesn't move when I crank it.

    2012 5.0gxic-270-r wont start. 14 beeps when I turn the key on

    Thanks for the help! I meant the volts coming off the 5 AMP ignition fuse was low - The manual says look for a .3 volt drop or more from B+ on the voltage drop testing. The scanner now says 5.01 volts for Ref #1. I haven't measured at each sensor for the 5 volts and I haven't actually put a...

    2012 5.0gxic-270-r wont start. 14 beeps when I turn the key on

    Follow up to this post: Boat (216 SSI) still not starting. Cranks fine with very little Tach Movement (I just realized this), now has intermittent spark When I turn the key the ignition relay activates and I get 12.23 B+ volts to the coil and module. As soon as the fuel and ignition relays...

    2012 5.0gxic-270-r wont start. 14 beeps when I turn the key on

    So the boat was sitting at idle and it stalled. Have not been able to get it started since, just beeps when I turn the key. The fuel pump primes correctly. The boat has 165 hours on it. It started right up on the trailer and when I put it in it started right up. Then after about 30 minutes it...

    SX-A Upper Steering Shaft

    Follow up - I used two wedges and a hammer and then a pry bar and crow bar and worked the shaft loose without any damage to the Transom Shield. Then the plastic bushing came right out with a screwdriver.

    SX-A Upper Steering Shaft

    How do you remove this without damaging the Transom Shield? My steering just stopped working, not sure why, but it is certainly the upper steering shaft. I might have hit the outdrive while trailering. I pulled the lower pin and cant get the top shaft out. It will only move if I hit it with a...
