Hey guys,
We have a 1997 Albemarle that has the twin Volvo Penta/Ford 5.8L motors. The motors were built in 1995 (pre ODBII). I have a code scanner (I'm a mechanic, so its used in my auto shop) and used it with the Ford plug, however I couldn't pull any info. Is there any reason that marine motors would be different. Is there anyway to pull up the codes on the motors.
I ask because I've been having a problem with my port side motor. For some off reason it won't rev above 3k RPMS with a load. In neutral it will, but in gear the the starboard side with do its 3600-3800RPMS while the port will hover around 2900-3000RPMS at WOT.
Any help would be appreaciated!!
Thanks!
