    Engine Hard Starting when Hot

    Hi everyone, I've completed the fuel injector cleaning and testing today. All injectors were run through a cleaning machine with a leak test function. While I found no leaks, the spray patterns were definitely dirty and poor. I've cleaned them thoroughly and will reinstall them shortly...

    Temperature Gauge not working - Volvo Penta 5.7 GI-E
