    4.3 GXI-F (2005) No spark or power at the coil. How do I check?

    If this is correct then it can. That said, looking at cap pic in post 7, that's a flat cap which wasn't used (that I'm aware of) on a MEFI

    4.3 GXI-F (2005) No spark or power at the coil. How do I check?

    So long as the fuel pump relay (R4) turns ON, it means ignition (R5) is working. We are down to scanning and hope it doesn't mean the ECM blew

    4.3 GXI-F (2005) No spark or power at the coil. How do I check?

    Thanks s/n 4012188494 555 ECM with HVS distributor Hope the cap solves the issue. Most of us call then crap caps because they can look great and still fail. Its best to keep a spare in the boat just in case because they fail without warning. If the cap does not fix, then we need to get the...

    4.3 GXI-F (2005) No spark or power at the coil. How do I check?

    With that we need to see if there are any codes, so the motor needs scanned. It could be that crank sensor, ECM or other. To keep from throwing parts at it the motor needs to be scanned My guess (no serial number provided) is its a 555 ECM and not a MEFI. If it was a MEFI we could scan by an...

    Volvo Penta D8 550 stbd exhaust temperature @ 1020F, port at 770F

    My guess is the sensor may be the problem, thinking other things would show up. The IR gun will help identify if there is an issue. Might swap the sensor to see if it moves to the other motor

    Pre Alpha Prop?

    The drive is the right type but unless you bought it new, the ratio could have been changed. Reving in neutral doesn't mean anything, there is no load Can either remove drive and count the drive and prop shaft rotations or Bypass the neutral safety switch and disconnect power going to the...

    4.3 GXI-F (2005) No spark or power at the coil. How do I check?

    My have some terminology differences, so to clear this up. The motor does turn over and crank, it just won't start, correct? What is the motor serial number? Has the distributor cap and rotor been replaced? Have you check fuel pressure at the rail? It should be 50 to 60 PSI (344 to 413 kpa)

    Pre Alpha Prop?

    Running that low rpm at wot I'm wondering if either the motor has low compression, or the drive ratio has been changed and its to high.

    Ford 302 issues

    Valve job shouldn't cost 400 each, maybe on the high side 400 for both, might look for another shop. I think you needs rings which means it needs to be bored, new pistons and the rest Should do the heads when doing the block
