Hey Folks,
I have thrown a few parts at the problem and have had a tech working on it but he is so busy that he basically doesnt have time to troubleshoot the engine.
Port engine, shaft drive. Basically the issue started with trouble starting when hot and a strong exhaust smell to the same but a very strong smell and loosing power.
It wont give me power to get on the step and lags at open throttle. Basically it bogs down when I put the power on to get up...but catches up with the Starboard engine once it is up.
I have done:
Caps, Rotors, Fuel Filters, TMAP sensor, PCV Valve, IAC Valve
Tech has:
Tested the fuel pressure in the system and it is good.
I feel that maybe I have lost power to a cylinder either with a plug issue or a power lead issue. Plugs and Leads are scheduled for tomorrow.
Any comments or ideas would be great.
Thanks
