    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    The Gxi-D shows 2 vacuum hoses 1 goes the the fuel rail damper, small hose The other I think would go to the valve cover PVC. If either are leaking it can cause issues with idle

    Fuel Injector Question

    Should have the injectors flow tested from idle to at least 5000 rpm. If they do not balance then need to be replaced if cleaning doesn't fix. If the O ring was not sealing very well there would be a vacuum leak which would impact idle and performance.

    Mercruiser Oil Pressure Alarm switch troubleshooting

    Both have purple, that's new As you can see in Manual 24 page 4E-10 it should be a Yellow and a Black. Check to see if your purple goes to ground. Guessing but it may have a bad connection

    Best to grab the serpentine belt and move that way. Can apply pressure to pulleys as needed to give it a bit more grip if needed Can use anything for stop bolt so long as it can be adjusted inside the cylinder Again you can remove the valve cover This is a amazon, but a local auto parts store...

    Does the 50 psi stay there while running? From this post your mechanics most likely know how to remove/replace a motor, but don't know how to setup a modern motor. If it was mine I would disconnect spark and fuel to the motor. Do this by pulling fuel pump and coil connectors. Remove the...

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    Yes the caps have been a problem so its good to rule it out. It didn't change anything so keep it as a spare because they can go out without warning Read thru the post a couple times and I'm always missing something so bare with me. I'm figuring this is a "new to you" boat. Being a new to...

    FIP 3/4x3/4 Brass Butterfly valve

    No, it is used for air in this case but will work with water It looks the same as a ball valve on the outside, but inside it has a disc with a O ring around the outside of it https://totalmarina.com/shop-all/valve-butterfly-3-4-in-bronze-w-o-handle-for-use-in-deck-control/

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    I need motor serial number or something like Gxi-270-G, Gxi-J to narrow it down If it does have the flat dizzy cap, then verify it is positioned correctly. The motor is not timed used base timing mode unless it has the EST dizzy To check timing, motor needs to be at TDC on number 1 cylinder...

    MAG 350 loses power after 20 minutes, need help

    The K&N isn't going to be an issue with SBC. A boat really doesn't need any filter with it being on the water, just something to keep big things from going in. Fella (Smitty - articfriends) on OSO did a dyno test with a (if memory serves) 600+ BBC and tried different filters, Flame arrestors...
