    Limp mode

    Sorry, I may have phrased that wrong. He hooked it up to his computer. No codes. But, tps isn’t reading. I checked it as well before I dropped it off. No codes were showing. I’m assuming the TPS did sweep considering he said the TPS was good. I don’t get to talk to him directly.

    Limp mode

    Sorry about the delay in questions. I took the boat back to the shop that was supposed to have fixed this isssue last summer. It’s been there 4 weeks and the only info that’s been relayed to me from his receptionist is that the tps is not reading. He said he did a voltage sweep to make sure...

    Limp mode

    Would I check the timing advancing under load or can it be done on ears? I’m 2 hours from a body of water big enough

    Limp mode

    I think it’s the mefi 3 based off of the info I can find. This is all the info that was on the tag. So, I pulled up the parts on Volvo penta site based off of the engine info… it said it came with 3, but is replaced with 4 when needing replacement. This includes an added harness to make the...

    I haven’t yet. We got all of what’s listed replaced and took it out yesterday to find it doing the same thing. Thank you for all the info. I’ll start looking at those things today

    Limp mode

    I’m grasping at straws because I’ve replaced everything that normally causes this issue. My oil pressure gauge isn’t showing pressure… so, I’m thinking the sending unit is bad causing the ecm to go into limp mode

    I’ll take a look shortly. If it is a mefi 4, is there a way to trick it into seeing oil pressure? Thank you for your help on that

    Limp mode

    I’ve got a 99 Larson 226 LXI with the tbi 305. Does this year model have “limp mode” built in? I’ve replaced all ignition components, both fuel pumps, and injectors. All Volvo penta branded. The motor will rev good on the ears, but will not get over 8-9 mph on the water. As I give it gas, if...

    Sound system without a ski tower

    I’m looking for ideas installing a sound system on a Larson 226. I’ll replace the original component speakers with high quality replacements. But, I want to add an amp and subwoofer. There’s always the option to put the subwoofer in the storage cubbie next to the engine, but it muffled the...

    Steering actuator

    Steering actuator

    I dropped my boat off at a local shop to diagnose a power steering leak. They told me it was the steering actuator leaking, but gave me the transom Id number instead of the part number I need. Can someone help me identify the part number I’m looking for? I’ve looked on the Volvo penta website...
