    Weird update #102380703023! Today, I swapped the intake manifold between both engines as that is the ONLY part I have not tried. Put it on and the engine started then quit. Unplugged the coolant sensor and it did much the same as before. *Flashback from a couple of months ago* I remembered...

    Yes, the intake came from the old engine, and that is the only part I have not tried moving from the other engine, aside from the transmission. I will move it over today. As for parts 2 and 3 there isnt even a hole for them in the intake. No fuel in the vacuum line to the regulator. Flame...

    Yes I can... havent tried unplugging the iac but will try that today.

    well, :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😤😤😤😤😭😭😭😭😭😭😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵😨😨😨🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I was REALLY hoping the scope would find and least SOMETHING... What it found was that the injector signals on both engines are exactly the same, good clean pulses. Also used it to probe all the grounds and powers to the...

    Well, I picked up a scope and spent some time playing around with it. Hooked it up to my car and got some waveforms. Will go to the boat next week and do some testing.

    I just did a brake cleaner test, I unplugged the PCV hose and when the engine went to stall I shot some brake cleaner in there and it immediately picked up. I had to spray A LOT in there before it picked up. Not just a little shot, but a good steady stream! I am now certain that this engine is...

    tried putting the cheap injectors in. still wont run. will try the iac right now.

    Just got the troll mode thing figured out. unfortunately that did not point me to my issue. The neutral switch just had some resistance to ground. unplugged it but nothing changed. on to the next thing.

    If I can get it to stay running the IAC will go over 100. Check the data files I emailed you with the good and bad engine.

    On my running engine the pulsewidth is 3.5, and map is around 21. BUT the port engine did decide to idle today at one point, albeit very rough and borderline stalling. I did record the data though. Injector pulsewidth and MAP was at 3.5 and 21, just like on the starboard engine but it was...

    Okay... so I found something else funky yes but it will rev to almost 3k then almost stall, then catch and rev up again etc. Any ideas about how the ecms know which engine they are on and that turns troll mode on or off even though it doesnt exist? Also today I had to move the boat into...

    Ok, as I dig through this things get super wierd. in diacom, there is a parameter called "Troll Mode input". I disregarded it at first thinking that it was not changeable and programmed into the ECM. When I put any ECM on the running starboard engine, troll mode is "OFF" all the time. When I...

    I think it is time for me to invest in an oscilloscope. I want to compare the injector voltage and current waveforms on both engines to see if the injectors are actually opening as commanded by the ECM. Also hook it up to the ecm power and ground feeds and distributor rpm signal to see what is...
