    New Stuff on Vehicles likes/dislikes

    Had a couple of those myself. Prone to rear diff problems (staying locked up or whining) though? One of my customers is a fan of the later Hemi engine'd Jeeps, collects and runs them, fixes some up and sells them on, I do quite a lot of work for him on them. He's an IT guy and wrote some...

    Random

    I have a friend who gets out of boring conversations or usual formalities by asking those he's talking to "Did you have a this morning?".

    Reminder to check gear before towing.

    There was a fella driving back from the coast when he was pulled over by a police car. He became a little irate as soon as he saw the blue lights. The police officer said "Calm down, I only pulled you over because you have a tail bulb out". The fella said "Yeah but where's my ******* boat...

    Sorry I didn't visit this forum for a while but I checked this thread as soon as I visited... Just don't have anything to suggest. Any new developments?

    1996 Four Winns Sundowner with 5.0 Cobra engine and drive

    I use the boat mostly on a local river (the river Ouse that runs through York), but it's only a little narrow river and gets a bit boring. I prefer to be on the sea and did have it on the sea off the coast of Wales a couple of days this year, I intend on taking it on the sea more often next year.

    1996 Four Winns Sundowner with 5.0 Cobra engine and drive

    Thanks Horigan. Tomorrow I'll blow through the hose that is usually connected to the raw water pump input. When I first opened the block drain plugs I still had the thermostat housing fitted, water drained out of the port drain but not the starboard drain, then when I started to remove the...

    1996 Four Winns Sundowner with 5.0 Cobra engine and drive

    The boat is the one in my profile and the subject of this thread. Until now I've been hoping to get one more outing on the boat before winterising it, we had some decent weather with sunshine a few weeks ago. But now it's getting colder and it's forecast to be freezing in a couple of days, so...

    Men, it is October

    Heh, I expected this to be about temperatures falling and it getting close to the end of boating season.

    Volvo Penta V6-240 Fuel High Pressure Dropping to Zero

    Watched the scope video a few times, had to download a new codec to watch it, not sure what to make of it, seems to me the pulse frequency might drop off immediately when the rpms begin to fall off? But I suppose pulse frequency is rpm related anyway, in which case that would be expected and not...

    Volvo Penta V6-240 Fuel High Pressure Dropping to Zero

    I downloaded the Diacom software and used it to look at the same section of .rec file @Biz603 posted a picture of in post #58 and @harringtondav referred to in post #60. Derate1, derate2 and forced idle are not set during any of the file, so it seems nothing points to the ECU intentionally...

    Volvo Penta V6-240 Fuel High Pressure Dropping to Zero

    Thanks, I will download Rinda and have a look at the files. I already attempted to look at the files by importing the data to a spreadsheet, doing that I can see a lot of the header and summary information but I didn't get as far as being able to read what I believe will be the live / realtime...

    Volvo Penta V6-240 Fuel High Pressure Dropping to Zero

    I don't have Diacom (so can't read the .rec files) and I'm not familiar with this particular engine. I'm not even fully versed with exactly how some direct injection engine fuel systems work with their multi-pressure stage fuel systems. I do know that on some direct injection engines there is...
