    What is the inductor for?

    On the wiring diagram for my 5.7 gsi pefs there is a pink wire in the harness that goes from distributor to the coil. I can find no information on what it does or how to check it. Does anyone know what happens if that goes bad? Or how to check it Number 22 on the attached file

    Bouncing timing mark

    Still struggling on my 2000 VP 5.7 gsi pefs. Finally got the correct injectors and seem to have resolved my rich condition. Now when I set the timing with the jumper it seems to search a little for idle and the timing mark moves a little back and forth. When I pull out the jumper and bring...

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gsi PEFS Fuel line fitings

    I have been searching for replacement fuel lines. Volvo Penta made it obsolete. None of the dealers that VP gave me to check with have one. None of the Hydraulic hose companies can match up the TBI fittings. I can find a fitting to convert it to AN6 lines. Does anyone know if I can use AN...

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7GSi PEFS still running rich!

    I have been thru about everything I can think of including some great advice from this group! I am looking at the MEFI 3 now and wondering if it is somehow sending incorrect information to the injectors regarding pulse width. Has anyone had experience with John at Boats Unlimited? He seems...

    2000 5.7 GSi PEFS MAP sensor?

    I have a possible vacuum leak or a bad MAP sensor. Map sensor shows over 2.5 volts at idle and the idle wanders. When I look at it it looks like it was replaced but looks like an automotive version. Does anyone know if there is a difference? Volvo Penta wants about $200 for their Mao sensor.

    2000 5.7 gsi pefs injectors

    Okay I have been killing myself trying to replace my TBI injectors. There is no part number on top of the old ones and that makes it even harder. I have been back and forth for a long time on what to order. I am thinking the Standard injectors TJ17, I get an email a little later from someone...

    Volvo Penta 5.7GSI PEFS ignition control Module

    Has anyone cross referenced the ICM? my parts guys tells me it is obsolete and hinted that a GM (Auto) one is the same. I am not usually a fan of using automotive ignition parts. Anyone know of a cross reference this Module 3854003 Seems automotive ones are WAY cheaper but i worry about that.

    Rolling torque after prop seals

    Okay work is progressing with DP-SM prop seal replacement. I hired someone to replace them because i don't have the tools. After research I am concerned about the rolling torque. Pretty sure he did not do that. What should I do to set it at this point? I am looking to get the spanner tool now.

    Add fuse to starter?

    I am upgrading my main battery lines. I have seen some that have added a fuse to their Starter feed. it will add some protection to the run between the starter and the battery. Just wondering if anyone has gone down this path as well and what you used. I have the 5.7 Gsi PEFS.

    Fuse or breaker?

    I am upgrading my battery system. after some research I will be adding some main fuses coming off the battery to the ACR charging switch.

    Break in oil

    I am gathering supplies for the new engine. Volvo Penta break in instructions just says change the break in oil after 20 hours i believe, but no mention of what that break in oil is. I am thinking a good non synthetic SAE 30 or 40 oil would be good for the first 20 hours then switch to the...

    Upside down oil filter change

    I have a local Volvo Penta mechanic that is giving me a remote oil filter setup. The filter does sit on it upside down hole facing down. Does the trick of loosing the filter let it drain the oil out of it? (I do not have a problem waiting a little for that to happen) I have seen people say...

    2000 DP-SM gear oil substitute?

    I am sure this has probably been beaten to death but I could not find it. Does anyone use gear oil other than the Volvo Penta 75w90 in their out drive? I am going to change it for good measure but that gear oil has gone up about $12 a quart since last June. I got it for just under $16 a...

    Remote Oil Filter

    I was wondering if anyone has found an aftermarket oil filter relocation kit for the Volvo Penta 5.7? It seams all i can find are just parts and pieces for the OEM version and most want a pretty penny for those. I am installing a new long block soon and I am just getting to old to be crawling...
