    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    Just on the off chance I drove to a used boat yard nearby. Had a really good conversation with owner and her mechanic. They are not like several boat yards near me where they thumb their collective noses at you if you do not have $100K to drop on a new boat! Upshot is that in two weeks I will...

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    No luck at all. After connecting those wires the engine now turns over but no initial TBI spray. Connecting the diagnostic software will not connect even tho it has the correct port as I discovered how to do that. So back to my plan to try and sell at a big discount and if that fails I will junk...

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    What I am hoping is that my diagnostic software will now work. Pouring with rain today so will have to wait.

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    So in testing the 50 amp breaker I discovered that sometimes it worked and mostly did not. Was open most of the time by the look of it. So have another on order. Probably will not solve my issue but does explain why some wires were hot and then not.

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    One thing that does concern me is the fact that the wires going into the two ECM connectors seem quite loose.

    I removed the tape looking for breaks and joins. Where do you see the burnt wire and the clipped wire?

    The blue tape on one of the splices is where I looked at the splice. No corrosion at all. If there is a particular area of wires you want me to take a picture of I will of course do that. I did not get any voltage at the MAP sensor socket at all with ignition on.

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    Very frustrating in not being able to tell the scan software what port the cable is plugged into on the laptop. I have tried plugging it into all available laptop ports!!! Still no joy. About to look at MAP sensor wiring. Also will try and solve why the engine will not torn over now when it was...

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    No luck at all with this engine. I cleaned the negative connections to the engine after not getting an earth connection at the alternator. The negative connector on the DCL then worked as it was not before. Running a scan was useless with a steam of failures to connect. That could be because the...

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    I think you are correct. When I scanned the ecm all I got was a stream of failure to read messages and I bet thats because of no power to the ecm.

    Only power to one of the pins. Also the engine does not turn over now whereas it did before.

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    The major ground connection to the Engine is good. However after installing the ECM I now have no voltage to the fuel pump relay. I did before. All fuses are okay.So one step forward and 2 steps back. I did notice that the reset switch terminals are quite rusty and one of them its difficult to...

    No I have not. I checked the engine to see if it lit up a test light when connected to a positive battery terminal. When I saw the low system voltage error message that same thought as you did occur to me so will be checking all those ground connections for sure.

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    So I received the ECM back from Bob along with MEFI scan software and a USB connecting cable. Will load that on a spare laptop tomorrow. Bob cleared codes for low system voltage and low oil pressure as well as MAP high and MAP low codes. All sensors and relays and IAC are good. Also IC and...

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    Bob called me just now. Upshot is that the ECM is just fine however some error codes could be an issue. The voltage regulator on the distributor could be the problem. He says most new ones, and the one I have is new, are bad out of the box from China. I still have my original so will use that...

    Bob at ODB Diagnostics has the ECM now. I am hoping he can work on it early next week.

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 Gfi with no spark

    Will ship ECM off to Bob tomorrow. Sorta hoping there is something wrong with this ECM and that it can be repaired. If there is nothing wrong with it hopefully an error code that will give me a clue.
