    Crank no fuel - oil pressure safety switch ?

    One of my mottos is to learn something new every day. Today is no exception > was driving me crazy why they would design the system to cut off fuel pump on low oil pressure on a carbureted engine. Clearly not intended to preclude start or cause immediate shutdown based on oil pressure. In high...

    Crank no fuel - oil pressure safety switch ?

    You did not mention it so have to ask: do you have oil pressure? If suspect that is shutting down due to an oil pressure switch, have to ask. When you jumped the fuel pump, did it start and run like normal? Also, it does not make sense to me that an oil pressure safety switch – which as its...

    Alternator/tensioner bracket

    A good tip I recently learned is to go the VP Shop website (link) and put in your engine serial no. It will take you to a parts breakdown by category. If what you are looking for is what I think it is, it will be expensive, so look for repairing it using a Keensert or Helicoil. If not familiar...

    Gurgling coming from exhaust

    If your engine has the blue cap, its designed to be used to flush the engine with the motor running. The VP manual says “Turn water on full and start the engine. Let the engine idle until engine temperature stabilized at its normal operating range.” So yes, its capable but obviously only so much...

    Gurgling coming from exhaust

    Sounds good. And you never defiantly said but since you are running on a hose (not muffs), your flushing hose connection is the blue cap style (see post 6) and picture below. Is this correct? (not trying to be rude, just double checking....) And for reference, my 2005 5.0 GXi-E running on the...

    2003 5.7 gxi Volvo penta seems to go into safe mode with no alarm

    Ah, got it, pressure test at speed already done 😊. And other potential issues addressed. So now it’s into the computer as you suspect. Only thing I can think of is to use a test light hooked into the backside of the injector plug and seeing that the signal to fire the injectors ‘goes away’ or...

    4.3 GL water in oil

    You did not mention if you detected water in the oil pan (dipstick with dreaded milky foam) or if you changed out the oil and/or oil filter and found evidence of water. Where I am going with this is I wonder if it was condensation build up vs. water jacket leak. Also, something that is...

    Gurgling coming from exhaust

    Clearly, it’s much harder to do this via back-and-forth postings vs. being there and I am not sure I can help further but I will give it a try. The symptoms you are having is overheating. With the boat in the water, it overheats at the dock at idle or perhaps at a slightly elevated RPM. Even...

    2003 5.7 gxi Volvo penta seems to go into safe mode with no alarm

    I assume your 30 PSI fuel pump pressure was taken while idling and sitting at the dock, correct? Flow requirements are minimal at idle compared to 4500 RPM. Its possible you are not getting the flow (volume) needed at 3000 RPM and higher which seems to you as if in ‘safe mode’. Your lean...

    2003 5.7 gxi Volvo penta seems to go into safe mode with no alarm

    Sargetreetrunck, a couple of thoughts: if you changed up the wires, should also do the rotor and cap unless new recently. And if suspect the fuel pump, which these circa pumps have paint issues, check out this link.

    VP 5.0GXi-B issue - low RPM/problem with a plane

    Here is a video (link) in how to use a Piston Stop Tool and find TDC. As AllDodge says its involved and as the video highlights you can damage the piston if you use the starter motor (or do not have a good feel while turning over the motor by hand). You need to have ALL the spark plugs removed...

    Parts lists with part numbers

    Apologies I must have fat fringed the part no. or looked up the wrong variant. I have found that this link uses a parts finder like how the old VP store worked. I looked up your engine and sure enough came back with your number 3817287 for the belt and 3885250 for the tensioner and 3861009 for...
