Help!
My Volvo Penta 5.0PEFS will not start. It has been stored a long time and gas is definitely screwed up.
I have drained the fuel, intstalled new fuel filter and tried running fresh gas and still will not start. It will fire if I squirt gas directly into the throttle body so I think it is the fuel cell and have read the many posts about this problem. I cannot see any fuel in the throttle body when I crank the engine. I tried a fuel pressure test on the feed from the cell to the throttle body and see only about five pounds of pressure when cranking. So I decided to clean the fuel cell it out per a previous post from “Matt in Seattle” and I note that the two pumps both have “high pressure” stamped on them (but different part #’s 283 2219A and 282 2359A). Many of the posts refer to low pressure and high pressure pumps on the fuel cell. Why would the casings on my pumps both say “high pressure”? I have found a “fuel pump kit #3588865 on the web but it doesn’t say what is included in the kit. Anybody purchased this item and can tell me what you get for your approximately $300?
I am also going to replace the Throttle Body injectors as they are rusted and could also be clogged with the bad gas. Spark is getting to the injectors (per my noid light). Again, I find posts asking where to buy the injectors (number 25170301-ACR), but never any responses. A web search doesn’t help me but causes me more confusion. Any help on where to buy these TBI injectors?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
