    2005 Volvo penta gxi-e

    If it ran fine last year and all you have done is added new gauges the it is likely you inadvertently wired a gauge wrong and introduced a short to ground. However, your fuel pumps are controlled by the MEFI4 ecu not the alternator. As you may or may not have discovered, there is not a wiring...

    5.0 GXI C no start

    I believe if you look in the cap of the fuse / relay box it will state that F3 is the ignition fuse. The number on the wiring diagrams is relating to the diagram legend not the fuse number. The fuse is a 15 A and feeds the ignition control module, all the injectors and the ECM. The relay is...

    VSR vent line full of fuel

    You must have a leaky float needle valve seat to get fuel in that vent line. Take it apart again and inspect the seat with a magnifying glass. If there is anything there at all clean it out and blow it dry with an air gun. Reassemble it, turn it upside down (to allow the float and needle to...

    I did not post that the MIL goes to J2 -25, I posted that pin E on the data connector of these engines goes to J2 -pin 25. link to thread : https://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/1083229-volvo-penta-10-wire-data-link-connector.html?highlight=volvo+penta+10+wire+data+connector

    Make of this what you will but here is two pohos of my data link connector showing 10 wire connection and you are starting to p---s me off. All I am trying to do is help this guy read trouble codes and you are doing everything you can to discredit me! Put up or shut up!

    Can you confirm that the data link connector on your engine has all ten pins populated with wires?

    2005 5.0 GXI Volvo penta crank but will not start

    Before you accuse me of being incorrect or a "first liar" see if you can produce a wiring diagram that states it is applicable to a 5.0 GXi-E that disproves what I have stated. To my knowledge Volvo never published one. My diagram is from first hand tracing of my 5.0 GXi-E and resultant use of...

    2005 5.0 GXI Volvo penta crank but will not start

    That is what I stated "J1 pin 27 is the MIL " Only on the GXi-E it does not go to the Data link Connector, only to the engine round connector pin 9.

    aldodge, this pinout is ONLY good for the GXi-E. More info is discussed in my old thread on THT "10 wire data link connector".

    2005 5.0 GXI Volvo penta crank but will not start

    As alldodge says a meter can be used but terminal E on the data connector goes to ECM J2 pin 25 not J1 pin 27. I could not find a descriptor for J2 pin 25 anywhere! I am not saying it couldn't work, but I wouldn't risk it when I know splicing into the wire from J1 pin 27 does work.

    2005 5.0 GXI Volvo penta crank but will not start

    As you have a GXi-E you can make a test LED to read the codes. The 10 wire data link connector does not have a MIL wire in it but one does still go to the round engine connector, I am assuming you boat does not have a MIL lamp (check engine lamp) at the helm/dash. I have attached the sketch I...
