    Adjusting the idle-2008 Mercruiser 3.0

    Over many years when the throttle handle gets old the grease inside the control needs to be redone. When this happens using throttle only in the forward direction has enough friction to move the shift cable also. A method to get around it is go throttle only but go to the reverse side. Going...

    3.0GS MBYMCE Exhaust manifold leak

    Yours may not be alone, but having not heard another case similar to same issue, and not knowing exactly where the crack is, I'm thinking the man is put in a bind. If the head isn't flat within 0.003 then when its fastened there is enough binding/warp transferred to the man. Then the heat cool...

    IAC problems

    No expert, but pins B and C are listed as switched. This tells me the ECM grounds those pins to energize the coils. Meaning the other pins have full power when ECM is powered up. The test light will flash because ECM is switching on/off which will cause the like to flicker on either side of...

    Volvo Penta KAD 300 power steering issue

    The manual shows to connect the bottle with a tube connected to the fill port. This will let air out and keep oil filled. By turning wheel each way and seeing nothing come out, and then the second time and seeing air and then fluid, would tell me there is air being purged somewhere
