    Also when coming to a no wake I have to put it in neutral and bring RPM up to 2000 and it will run for 5min or so then I can here it starting to starve for fuel so I start pumping throttle and it will finally get fuel I use the other engine to get through the no wake they are both 5.7 GXI fuel injested
