Hi Folks,
My 44 just stopped running, as though it had been turned off. I have since replaced both the fuel filter and the prefilter and I'm working from a jerry can of clean fuel (eliminating dirt in the tank as a possibility I believe) I have spent several fruitless hours trying to prime the injectors without success.
I get only a small, low pressure flow to injectors 5 & 6, nothing to the others.
I get a small flow through the return line, I'm not sure if my lift pump is delivering enough fuel
The high pressure side of the injector pump is apparently doing nothing
The boat has had electrical/electronic problems in the past (my volvo mechanic believe the engine compartment may have been submerged in its previous life)
The engine would't crank or shift into neutral and it took many expensive hours and phone calls to Volvo HQ back east to sort the problem out. The mechanic warned that the problems could happen again.
Is it possible that some corrosion issue has caused the EDC to send a zero output to the fuel quantity actuator?
The only fault code is 5:3 indicating an out of range voltage to the compressor ( I think, because the manual supplied with the engine doesn't list it)
Does anything sound familiar? My greatest fear is a failed injector pump but before throwing big bucks at the problem I want to make sure I haven't missed something.
