    Starting Problem

    Get a test light or volt meter, (volt meter is better) and see if you get 12V on the Yellow/Red wire at the key when turned to START. If 12V is found go to the slave solenoid and the small terminal and see if you get 12V on the small Yellow/Red wire. If you get 12V there, need to check the...

    Volvo-Penta 5.7 Gi idles at 1800-2000 RPM

    Need to get a code reader on the motor. If it was a Merc I could tell you how to build one, but with being a VP I'm not sure. Does the VP have a 10 pin connector like this?

    Hissing and revs in idle

    I'm seeing either a Rochester 2GC or Merc 2 bbl carb The silver thing I believe is a PCV valve and if the small hose under the big hose has a vacuum being drawn thru when the motor is running, then it needs to be connected to the PCV valve

    Mercruiser Mpi fault code 152 ?

    Does appear 152 is the IAC but what are the normal codes you see all the time? 2 beep codes can be several other then then ones you mentioned, and the 2 beep and then going to constant beep at 4K rpm's I would think its the seawater pressure switch

    2007 Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-H

    The connection to your hour meter shouldn't have any effect normally, but if the hour meter is having an issue it can reduce the power going to the coil. This pic is just for reference showing the purple wire connection on the EST distributor

    Oh you have some issues. The lower housing anti-ventilation plate is broken off, and the top of the lower housing has a crack. My guess right now is the drive doesn't have any lube in it

    Mercruiser trailer button missing

    Unless someone changed the wire there shouldn't be a solid blue wire. That said if the blue/white and purple/white wires that are in the pic connect to the trim limit on the drive, then yes connect the switch between the two. The purple/white should have power on it
