    5 liter Mercruiser wont Idle

    I have 2002 5 liter Mercruiser that will not idle. The issue just happened today. The engine will not start unless I give it throttle and will run fine at higher RPMs. It will stall when the RPMS are brought back down to idle. I'm thinking this is a idle control value issue. I would like some...

    2002 Mercuiser 5 liter EFI Locks Up

    I was on the water a few weeks ago and the boat was running great for about 2 hours. I shut the motor down for about 5 minutes and then started it up and ran fine for about 15-20 seconds. The motor then rumbled to a stop and would not start. The motor was locked. I thought it was hydro locked...
