    Volvo Penta 8.1 PFI missing on 3,5,7 and 8

    So using noid light on injectors there were no misses? If correct then this is a coil firing issue. I don't have a PFI manual but do have GI and GXI, or was the PFI a slip? Should ring out the wiring back thru connectors to the ECM.

    EFI specs for techmate pro

    Agree VP doesn't put to many actual values for a given sensor like Merc and Indmar does. The GXI manual list some fuel pressure values and 5V sensor but not a lot more. They are using mostly GM/Delphi sensors so could use the Merc manual to get some ideas

    Volvo Penta 8.1 PFI missing on 3,5,7 and 8

    Do you know if the misfire is caused by fuel injectors or spark plugs? NOID light can be used on injectors to see if they are turning ON/OFF

    Stalling, Alarm sounding every 60 seconds

    That is the number one failure of the Merc motors. They fail often and there is no pressure issue. Dang things are expensive for what they are Could test with a mechanical gauge (0-30 psi) Tee'd in same location

    Delco EST High Idle

    Something is pulling a lot of current or the breaker is weak. The breaker is 50 amp and the solenoid and motor don't draw that much unless something is shorting out. Might be the breaker but would need a test setup to verify

    Temperature gauge issues? Can't get a temp reading?

    The Merc gasket as 2 brass rivets in it to help make electrical contact between the upper and lower. Take a jumper wire and clamp on side if the sender and ground it elsewhere to see if gauge works

    Thanks, The scanner showed that the TPS changes as throttle opens and continues to change to 100% for the last 1/4 throttle when nothing changes?

    7.4L Overheating

    Removing the hose will work, I would have removed the hose coming from the pump to the thermostat housing. Don't know your serial number so the pic below is generic. Your motor should have a power steering and oil coolers. They are both inline with the hose coming from the raw water pump...
