    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    It got a new long block month ago. When I got it back it took 5 tries to get it started. Idle sounded low and hesitant. Drove it back to my slip from mechanics. Shut it off and restarted it, was same 4-5 times to start. I mean it starts right up every time but after a second it stalls or catches...

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    Thanks for your help. I’ll have to look around the engine for a serial number. All I saw was the engine family number on plaque by alternator and belts brace thing. It does have the flat top dizzy. Someone earlier posted how they crap out and should be replaced. I pulled old dizzy and rotor...

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    I did fuel pressure test today and looked good. Low side 10psi. High side 50psi. Had a hard time getting it to idle on start up. It either stalls right after start up or will barely catch itself and idle with slight hesitation. Starts and idles excellent when I unplug tps sensor.

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    I’m not sure ? 270 I believe. I would think they did. They are the go to place around here for fixing boats and building race boats.

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    600-615 is when it wants to stall. 600 purrs perfect with tps unplugged. I picked up a test gauge and going to check fuel pressure high and low today after work. This has got me stumped as it runs perfect once I have throttle open to around 700-800 rpm in neutral.

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    Yes I tried that. Even cleaned fuel pump/screens. While running motor at idle it sounds like it’s starving for air. I can hear massive sucking sound at top of throttle body as it’s trying to suck air in around plenum. Does anyone know why the engine will start and idle perfect with tps sensor...

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    I think it’s a calibration issue. So I changed all those things. Dissy cap. Rotor. Iac module. Fuel pressure sensor regulator. Cleaned every part of fuel pump. Just replaced the tps today from thinking it was bad since it will idle perfect when tps unplugged. But no change is still get a stall...

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    So I replaced iac, Distributor and Rotter, fuel pressure regulator, no change to idle and still wants to stall at idle. Pulled fuel pump and completely disassembled cleaning every inch of it (wow those screens looked horrible) and replaced some o-rings in there. Reinstalled fuel pump. Still...

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    I tried running with a remote tank and still no change. New iac came today and new cap/rotor will be here tomorrow. I’ll try them and see what happens. If I had a vacuum leak somewhere wouldnt that effect more then just idle, and cause a higher idle ? If I open throttle and idle at around...

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    I used an aftermarket off Amazon $35. I ordered a real one that should be here next week. Just incase Amazon one was crappy. Should I see the iac move at all when I remove the arrester at idle ? It looks like it’s just sitting in one position.

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    I assume pvc is ok. There is no smoke and no sing of oil issues. This is a new problem. Engine got a new long block. When I picked it up it took 4 turns of the key to start it. I contacted mechanic after a day he said I need to give it alittle throttle to start. I said I thought fuel injection...

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    Volvo 5.0 gxi. Fuel injection. I need some of your expert advise please. Runs excellent through all rpm except idle. Needs a tiny bit of throttle in neutral to start engine. If I let it run for a min with throttle open and back it down to idle the engine will almost stall but catch itself and...
