496HO issues at high and low RPMs
I have a 2002 Mercruiser 496 MAG HO w/ ~450 hours on it that's giving me trouble. Here's what's going on:
Other than that it seems to run great around 3000-4000 RPMs. I just got back from a 150 mile cruise with no problems except at the low and high RPMs. Any ideas what's up? Fuel pressure maybe? Thanks. |
Standard problems on those engines are the IAC and the sea water pressure sensor.
A malfunctioning IAC can contribute to hard starting, stalling. The pressure sensor most often causes alarms at or near wot. |
Get it scanned,,,,,thats the beauty of new motors,,,,,simple diagnosis
