Welcome to iboats. Is this thing running hot, have you checked fuel pressure?

If you have access to a diagnostic kit and laptop, that would be the best way to troubleshoot the problem.<br />By monitoring engine parameters, and then dropping individual cylinders, you should be able to home in on the problem. It has worked for me.

nwox<br /><br />Just an idea I haven't seen stated here.Maybe if posters gave more info when posting,someone might give a better answer.<br /><br />Just an example ...you've checked the indexing of the plugs. .... How?<br />Compression and temp are ok .... what are they ? <br /><br />I'm worried about the noise you mentioned.What is it ?<br /><br />I'm not picking you out for this post,but to all,give us all the info you can.<br /><br />I suspect your lift pump is bad.Probably the diaphram. <br /><br />DHP

Re: 115 ficht ram 2001 big rpm problem

is about 8 months that my dealer are trying to solve the problem... he don't know what is the broken part...<br />I've check indexing of spark plug by control that the spark is from 3 to 6 in a side, and 6 to 9 in other side...<br />I don't know the compression and the temperature value.. but my dealer say that it is ok....<br />8 months ago I take my boat to a dealer for this problem.. some "popcorn" noise at low rpm... (like 2700-3500 rpm)<br />I've changed ecu, upload new software, check injector parameters...and 4 months ago cylinder number 2 has been damaged... <br />the dealer changed it... but the problem remain... and now I'm trying to find an help on internet because I'm very very frustrating of this situation...<br />now the engine hesitate to go over 4000 rpm...<br />there isn't popcorn noise but it reach very fast 4000 rpm and after it makes a lot of difficult to reach 5500 rpm...<br />I hope with this story someone could help me...<br />thank you
