    Continuing Problem with 2021 VP 250 hp 4.3 DI

    It's possible your dealer has ordered Vodia 4. This is laptop software they came out with. Years ago, the best diagnostic set up was Diacom for the gasoline engines. Volvo also sold a hand held called Vodia, it was much slower for gas engines. But was needed anytime a software update was needed...

    Continuing Problem with 2021 VP 250 hp 4.3 DI

    One thing I forgot to mention, If you pull the fuel filter and dump it it in a glass jar to check fuel again (and I sure would if your not going to inspect the tank) do NOT put the old one back on the engine unless you ARE 100% SURE there wasn't any contamination. This is something they really...

    Well let's see how much time I get. Dave, you seem to be sure fuel isn't your problem --- I'm not. Let me tell you where I'm coming from. I've lost count of the times someone brought me a small runabout that didn't run right. Often they would tell how they or a different service provider had...

    I've had a chance to look at the files and I need better files. What I see so far is you have the MIL light on, a soft warning horn and a octane rating of 50%. This usually will set a code. There are sometimes valid reasons for why this happens. We need to find out why no code is setting. Well...

    ok, I'm not 100% sure on this. But I have had more then a few customers that would tell me "Maybe a splash of fuel remained" or I drained the tank completely dry". But from their description of the symptom, it sure sounds like a bad fuel issue. So I question them about how did you drain the...

    Hi Dave, What did you connect the oil extractor to? Were these pressures checked with the engine running under moderate load? Assuming this was a valid pressure test and you have confidence in your fuel pressure tester, yes that's a little low. Because it's just a little low I would be checking...

    Hey Dave, I don't know how to post them on iBoats. But it can be done.

    Also according to the Volvo website, you have an open recall? Your product is subject to a recall campaign. Please contact your Volvo Penta service dealer to schedule an appointment. State your serial number as a reference. Might want to ask your dealer about this.

    I'm not aware of any screens in this system, other then in the injectors. Your phone contact might have been thinking about older systems with the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail. Yes, 1st step is to check the 2 pressures at the pump. top port is 60 ± 5 PSI bottom port is 10–40 PSI...

    EVC Control panel fault w/code

    The reason I asked about the extra panels is they go before the control panel, so change the trouble shooting. You are on the right track. Maybe this will help.

    EVC Control panel fault w/code

    First things first. What other panels are installed on the boat? power trim panel? sport fish panel? Yes the control panel can be replaced, but will require you to run auto config. Any time a node has been added into the system or a node has been replaced, an auto config must be performed...

    Boat will run perfect in neutral and will rev up in neutral but will die instantly

    I hope the ignition switch fixes it -- cheap and easy repair. And from your description of it, due for replacement anyways. But, a bad ignition switch doesn't fit with the symptoms you have described. Based on the engine dyeing only when you shift into gear. If this is happening out of the water...

    Boat will run perfect in neutral and will rev up in neutral but will die instantly

    Could be many things, first things first. Is this happening in the lake or on the trailer on the flusher?

    Volvo diagnostic port

    Hopefully they can help. Try to get it registered in your name. My experience is that service bulletins don't show up unless it's registered. Please update us with what you find.

    Yes more logs would help. Both a key on engine off throttle monitor .rec, slowly advancing throttle lever (10 seconds) and slowly returning to idle. If possible repeat this in the water under load. So far the logs I've seen appear to be "no load" these aren't as helpful because this is a speed...

    Yes, those are the files I wanted. "Question, should the ignition switch voltage be the same as battery voltage? It's a little lower." That's very common to see be a bit lower. The battery feed goes to pins 60 + 79 and battery voltage is an average of those two. ignition feed goes all the up to...

    muc notes --- replaced TCP with new. The only change was that one fault never return which was SPN 91 FMI 4. The SPNs 697,698,699+713 will always be there if you have can bus gauges and I think you do because you're not complaining that no gauges work. SPN 29/FMI 4 is DTC 2127 = TCP #2...
