Never thought I would utter those words, but after 4 months of trying to get my new (to me) boat running. I am throwing in the towel. My Volvo Penta 5.0 GI (General Motors Fuel Injected) will be magically transformed into a Volvo Penta 5.0 C (General Motors Carbureted) in the last 4 months we have rebuilt the entire fuel system. Both fuel pumps, cleaned the VST replaced the injectors, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the Temp Sensor, Knock Sensor, IAC, TPI, Map Sensor. We also replaced the distributor, wires, cap, rotor and module. Had the computer looked at and repaired. We have run almost 60 gallons of fuel and 10 hours of diagnostic run time. The motor still runs like crap. No codes show up on the diagnostic computer. Volvo made this particular engine model in 1998 and then 1999. The motor is discontinued and no parts are available. We think we have it narrowed to 2 wires in the harness. But at this point I have lost so much confidence in the system I think it best to stop and go old school.
My feeling is that I will get it running and be 40 miles out and something else craps out. So the throttle body will be coming off along with all the sensors, ECU, distributor and coil. They will be replaced with a Rochester Quadra jet 4 Barrel Carburetor, matching coil and distributor.
So coming soon to slip E22 at Waterfronte in Carolina Beach will be:
?Game Changer? a 1999 Albemarle 24 CC with a Volvo Penta 5.0GC
