6.2 MPI problems
2002 6.2 MPI - bought the boat about a month ago. ~90 hours on the original motor/drive
Short story: - seems to have a hard time starting and seems slow to get on plane, like its starving for fuel - brand new fuel filter and fuel/water separator Full story: - First couple times out seemed to run great no problems. - about the fifth time out had a low battery and wouldn't start it turned over a couple times, backfired a couple times but wouldnt actually start - replaced the battery that day then took the boat out. - seemed to have a hard time starting, later that day went to get on plane and wouldn't go over about 2000 RPM - next morning replaced the original fuel filter and fuel/water separator - started the boat and realized the serpentine belt wasnt moving - replaced the original 11 year old impeller - started the boat, seemed like a bit of a hard start, but OK - ran the boat again, semi-hard start at the dock and a couple times on the water, not like when I first got the boat - also seems to plane quite a bit slower than when I first got it, feels like its starving for fuel. Any thoguhts? Help would be much appreciated! |
What is your fuel pressure?
Did you change both filters if its the same as mine. Tired, we will talk later. |
I have been through this with both my engines and each time it was the cap and rotor. If you haven't had these done recently that's a great place to start including wires. It is amazing how crappy a boat will run and have trouble starting with corrosion on the cap.
|
Update: Pulled cap definitly has corossion. Will replace tomorrow and provide update.
|
Awesome, hopefully that does the trick for ya!
|
I should have updated this a long time ago, replaced rotor and cap, did the trick! Never would have expected that on a 2002 MPI engine...
|
very common problem the HVS caps do not vent at all. Even 2 year old caps are bad in humid weather.
|
Glad it did the trick!
