Hi All
I have a 2008 volvo Penta 5.7 OSI that had just been replaced (by myself) with a remanufactured one. Has taken me a few weeks in my spare time.
I'm trying to start it and getting nowhere. Engine was supposedly delivered at TDC and I made sure to put the distributor pointing at no 1 spark cable.
I also splashed out on the Diacom Marine software to aid diagnosis in times of trouble.
Put a brand new $800 fuel pump on as last one was blowing fuse. No I am getting no spark, noting from any HT Leads or even the cable going from coil to distributor.
Being the clutz that I am, I found out I have left the camshaft position sensor outside the distributor. Would this stop it from sparking. I metered the cables going to the coil and the main cable has 12 volts going to it for a few seconds when you switch the ignition on, then no volts at all during cranking. So I assume I need to find out why its getting no volts.
I have attached pictures of the camshaft sensor which I will put into distributor tomorrow, ignition coil and the screenshot of diacom marine software which shows no error codes.
PLEASE can you guys help me solve this, its very frustrating. I do have service manuals etc but think I need some advice from people with experience hence my visit here, this seems to be the most knowledgable forum I have found,
thanks in advance for all help received.
