    Water in through throttle body/loss of power

    Serial number shows 5.7 Carb not throttle body, and thanks for SN What type of pops?, backfires? If water got into the motor a valve might have been bent.

    Leak from water distribution housing

    Agree use BT's copper fittings and it won't happen again Fella at my dock replaced the thing twice before he started just leaving the drain out of it during winter. Appears the system never fully drains and if plug is reinstalled more water leaks into it later and cracks it

    Faulty IAC or something else

    Might have a vacuum leak but most times they don't go and come back. Does the throttle linkage apply any pressure to help close the TB when at idle? It should apply a slight bit of force to close. Adjustment is normally with engine OFF, remove cable from TB and see if the Throttle is fully...

    Faulty IAC or something else

    My bad, your motor is in your sig, FP should be 43 psi at 1800 rpm

    Faulty IAC or something else

    Your post list where you take readings and how the motor reacts to each change, to me that's part of testing. The old and new IAC are doing the same so while the new style is better then the old, the old was not the issue from what I read. What does Diacom show for injector pulse time, does...

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Why worry about charging in the winter. Keep hearing they can go to near zero volts without damage. Why charge at all when not in use?

    Faulty IAC or something else

    Your testing is correct and the IAC has changed. New style is good Normal IAC should be around 40

    4.3mpi rough idle

    Check the throttle cable goes from full open to full close on the Throttle Body Oil Temp going to zero could be it lost a ground. If other sensors like the rev counter it could be causing all kinds of issues Most likely going to need to motor scanned

    Oil pressure problems

    Accurate enough to get an idea on the oil filter. See 300+ is not good, under 300 could be ok. Check after a good run and don't let it idle a long time. After the oil filter is what the bearings see Run some 10W40 or 15W40

    Oil pressure problems

    Pretty much stock HP range With a hp pump its probably increasing the heat because the pump is generating heat because of the standard clearances. I'm thinking it could use a oil cooler or if it has one a larger one. Most likely if you had a oil temp gauge it would be over 300* and is...

    Oil pressure problems

    Who ever rebuilt the motor must have put a high pressure pump in. Nothing wrong with a high pressure pump but if used the bearing clearances need to be a bit different. How much HP was the motor said to have, stock or higher? Do you know what oil was used?

    FYI for anyone looking at Chap Have a 2023 Chap 280 OSX and the boat looks "great" but that is only skin deep. Their are numerous things that just are not done correctly, and even missing. Loose and missing screws. Stacks of washers used to hold seats up to proper level. Places were the...
