That makes perfect sense why it’s always activated. Your correct that we are a long way away from the EMM, I have a new relay that should be here in the next day or so. If I swap that out and she still gets hot then I’m assuming it’s gonna be the good old EMM. So I tried another quick test…ran her for 10 minutes in a huge cattle waterer bucket and ensured that the water stayed roughly 70 degrees with a hose letting it constantly overflow.(trying my best to simulate true lake conditions). After 10 minutes I shut her down. She started right back up and I ran her another 10 minutes. This time she went into her 3 finger salute mode…the EMM casing was around 115-118 based off my thermal temp gun. If it’s that warm on the outside maybe the inside of the EMM is getting quite a bit warmer and causing something like that “cold solder joint” that I’ve read about to disconnect. I had a fan setup so right after It wouldn’t start and I got my temps I turned it on to blow on the emm and back of engine. After 10 minutes she fired right up. I’m starting to think more and more that it might be the EMM. Dang…was really hoping I was gonna find something stupidly simple. But I’m learning a lot as I go, so that’s always a plus.
