    Suzuki DF140 fuel injector issue code 4-3

    This makes sense, that a sensor tells it when to fire injectors. Hmmm wish i had a factory manual for this engine.

    5.0 Ford MPI surging at idle and at 3500 rpm

    Thanks for the response! I do not have the correct style connector to pull diagnostic data from this engine, unfortunately. Its different than any other VP I have encountered. I did do a thorough check of connections/plugs, and battery terminals/main power. I do have good fuel pressure and...

    5.0 Ford MPI surging at idle and at 3500 rpm

    When cold, the engine starts and runs good at first. After warmed up the idle surges very slightly, just enough to see the tach move a little and you can hear it. Feels smooth getting on plane, but after cruising at 3500 or so for a few minutes it will surge more violently. If I accelerate...

    130 Yamaha WOT sweet spot?

    Im putting a 2001 yamaha 130hp V4 on my 17' Anacapri cc. What is the ideal wot rpm to turn this motor? In my experience, most of the time you want to prop for the high end of the rpm range, which I see is listed at 5000-6000. But I have been told that the v4s only like to run about 5500...
