    Residual Heat during this "lockdown"

    This is what I used the last time (years ago) before I got my tractor. Found out the hoe is not great on a slick road, to much weight and not enough grip. Thing started to slide and pucker factor was going on. So far we have not had a need to even shovel

    74 omc 190 engine zincs location

    Howdy It depends on which OMC drive you have as to which anodes (zincs) are used. Have a look here https://www.boatzincs.com/omc_sterndrive.html The drain plugs may be the only ones used unless you have a power steering cooler which is mounted low for open cooled motor.

    The exhaust temp sensors and just switches and they are tied together and go to one pin on the ECM. If either get to hot the circuit is closed. Could tuck the wire in. Its a nice idea to have it, but in most cases if one side was getting hot the other side would also With the gaskets your...

    2000 5.7 GSi PEFS MAP sensor?

    CCF Nothing would happen that could not be cleared by the scanner of the KS was disconnected. If a code 44 showed up it can be cleared. Start up let idle and then disconnect and have the vacuum gauge connected. If no code is thrown then the ECM is not increasing fuel. Throttle up and see...

    2000 5.7 GSi PEFS MAP sensor?

    I have the same manual and it does not list the GSi, but is for TBI Lets try this, you say its being done by the knock sensor but have not provided anyway to determine that is what is happening. How does the OP determine this is what is happening? Maybe: Disconnect the KS and if its the KS...

    2000 5.7 GSi PEFS MAP sensor?

    Even if the knock was only for a split second and then went away a code would be recorded. Your scanner would then show if it was active or not

    Repairing Plexiglass Windshield

    Have not seen what it looks like But sounds like your local guy doesn't have the equipment to do it. They will either be buying the equipment to do it, or sending it out for another to do it

    2000 5.7 GSi PEFS MAP sensor?

    I just looked at their website and it mentioned opening up the TB. They may not have done that, just a question. From the site I'm not seeing much which tells me most of their work is with autos. Noticed they pay more for a core with the marine injectors, which would agree because you cannot...

    Can I use aluminum propellers on a Mercruiser Bravo III stern drive?

    Don't know if you can even find aluminum B3 props. Aluminum blades will flex more so you will loose performance. Don't know which boat but might go with a B2 lower, but B2 props are expensive If your boat was insured it would have been covered. Just get a policy to cover accidents

    2000 5.7 GSi PEFS MAP sensor?

    Its not the knock sensor. If it was there would be a code ,and what does a knock sensor do, it tells the ECM to retard the timing. The timing has not even advanced yet so nothing to retard Its getting to much fuel for the amount of air its getting. As rpms increase it gets to the point where...

    volvo penta 5.7 gxi-f sensor location

    Pumping the throttle on a fuel injected motor does nothing but move the throttle plate. If your moving the throttle open more and cranking this is giving it more air. If the throttle is 3/4 to wide open this shuts the fuel OFF. If the IR and the helm gauge reads the same then the ECT sender...
