Twin 4;3 GXI
2002
ignition module failure , 2nd time , within weeks
Had a raw water pump failure spraying salt causing damage too many parts
Salt sprayed was pushed up hitting alternator , alternator thru salt all over ECM , Throttle air
sensor , , Coil pak , Alternator ,
Starter also seized , Possibly a coincidence ?
Hired a mobile VP authorized service tech too change starter , Hated too do so , changing a starter is simple except I cant get down , He had too remove manifold / riser
Hours later completed , cranking , no start , Prior too starter seizing boat was starting
His first thoughts since ECM was hit with salt , possibly no start cause since no spark ,
Had inventory of a coil pak , Installed , engine fired up , . He said GOOD ECM very costly
He did say change that alternator , not putting out proper volts , will do damage too new coil
Original VP alternator costly , went after market 65 or 70 volt. Installed fired up , GOOD
Would start at dock , let idle 10 minutes , seemed ok , Took out few weeks ago and after 40 minutes engine died
Back too dock , coil not getting spark
Calling tech , parts under warranty , he came down swapped , Never checking what caused Coil Pak too stop . He did pass a remark , DID you use boat with bad alternator ? NO
Yesterday Same , 45 minutes , motor stopped , Limped back one engine ,
These OEM parts are costly , I have a NAPA coil part , same as the vortec engine , installing as a test , This guy is not going too warranty a 3rd coil , He never test anything just threw parts
What else would cause a coil pak too fail ?
