    5.7gi reman shutting off on test stand

    On a rebuilt i questioned the weird compression on some cyls but we did have an issue with loose valves that needed to be 0 lashed again. There is a vacuum port at the TBI leading to the MAP. I jumpered the DTC blk and blk and white and got it in the ballpark but no timing light used.

    5.7gi reman shutting off on test stand

    5.0gi PEFS, i sent a message to the reprogramer to see if there was a need to have injectors replaced. Either way if not needed i will still have injectors flow tested and cleaned. I also removed spark plugs (ACDELCO MR43LTS) and reviewed that gaps. Some plugs with gaps of 45° and some with 30°...

    5.7gi reman shutting off on test stand

    Yes i am using the same injectors. I don't really know the fuel tables used when remapping, i would have to ask Ben Bowman to see. To accompany this i did another compression test with an Innova gauge because the Harbor freight was giving way low numbers and this is what i got with all plugs off.

    5.7gi reman shutting off on test stand

    Reman 5.7gi started on a stand will idle but once rpms are up it will hesitate, bucking and even want to shut off or it will shut off. It will sometimes also backfire. Several parts are new before starting due to deteriorated such as starter, distributor, oil sender, circ pump, knock sensor...

    Rebuilt 5.7 vortec wil not turn over

    Update, bad jumper cables, or at least not strong enough to start it. Get a pair of 2 awg marine and at least it turns over with plugs

    Rebuilt 5.7 vortec wil not turn over

    I know of compression but out of the blue i refused to give up and went back to the spark plug holes. With spark plugs off i turned over the engine and noticed air being sucked into the chamber from the spark plug hole. Placed my finger over the hole and it blows it out then sucks the finger in...

    Rebuilt 5.7 vortec wil not turn over

    Scott, it has 2 new batteries i tested them both with the volt meter and they are reading above 12.6 as well as a new marine starter. I also tied both batteries to start it as one, still nothing.

    Rebuilt 5.7 vortec wil not turn over

    Rebuily 350 will turn by hand with plugs no issue. Plugs removed starter will turn. ..the issue is with plugs removed starter won't turn over. Compression is good above 180 on all cyls. To be honest i have no clue as what is happening.

    Starting outside of boat, on stand

    Well alldodge after the finger in the spark hole test, no compression.... looks like the rocker arms are too tight leaving the valves open. No compression on any cylinder. I did the tightening sequence for the valves 0 lash and then 1/4 turn for 2 full revs and thrn some more revs for checking...

    Starting outside of boat, on stand

    Hey guys, i am attempting to start a new 5.7 vortec TBI on stand, bypassing pin 5,6, and 7. It turns over and fuel pump starts to prime but no happy boom. I did watch a vid on you tube on the starting procedure but its the same one i am doing and nothing. I heard something about a cut off switch...

    Trim pump hoses

    Would anyone have the part number for both trim lines coming out of the trim prump to the manifold at the transom? I looked at the volvo website and there is no diagram for those items. Engine is a 5.0gi and outdrive is a DP-SM.
