    1999 VP 5.7 GSi - No Spark

    What battery type, battery year, etc. are you running with? Sort of unusual to see a 13.5 volts at rest (engine off) as more typical to see it in the 12.2 - 12.8ish range...< But not impossible too. This engine design would use a pickup coil located under the distributor cap rotor as that is...

    Water leaking from engine - 5.7 GXI-E

    It appears you may want to inspect the engine block and components real close for any possible cracks due to possible freezing if a drain plug wasn’t left out… but first, by chance, did the engine get drained last year?

    Volvo Penta shift cables substitutions

    Are you wanting to color match the 2 cables as it looks like 1 may be red while the other is possibly black? They are both 33 style cables which is normally the type used for Volvo. Does the shifter connection points look the same between the new and old...

    06 4.3 mercruiser no start

    In seeing your photo of the 50 amp breaker, Merc was having issues with that new design at the time of it opening on its own enough that they went back to the old push button design… the one you have now a yellow lever arm will drop down when it trips but sometimes it might be hard to tell it...

    5.7gs coolant temp sensor

    Sounds like possibly the 2 temp sensors are swapped backwards if you have a 1 wire at the thermostat housing as it's normally found on the starboard sideish intake manifold area as seen with VP part number 3852029 item number 20...

    Shift Cable for Volvo Penta DP-SM

    The serial numbers could get you close to finding a cable "list" of VP part numbers used, but you'd still have to know the length used in which is generally the last 2 numbers of the overall numbers found on the cable...

    7.4L 1996 Mercruiser Electric fuel pump issue

    Possibly a vapor lock issue in the fuel VST tank. Sometimes either getting more cool air to the engine area may help some but not always…but more often of a repair would be to reroute the fuel return line away from the fuel filter adapter and back to the fuel tank somehow safely...

    No ignition spark or fuel at the injectors into the throttle body when cranking. Please help. 4.3 ltr Mercruiser EFI

    A few possibilities to consider looking over are, 1: The Alpha style shift interrupter switch is activated or failed... Could try moving the shifter handle a few times and then ensure the switch is centered and not pushed in, etc.. 2: A fuse was overlooked as good when maybe it's not or not...
