Fished all day with no problems took off from one of my spots
and got on plane and felt like started dropping a clyinder in and out
stopped at next spot and went to take off and would not get on plane
after 4 or 5 mins. of pushing pedal to floor was able to get on plane
but only about 5000 rpms and 45 mph.
what does this sound like to you?
p.s. no ck eng light or no alarms.
Sounds like you're "down a cylinder". Spark test (on all six cylinders at once) would be the best place to start- followed by spark plug inspection and compression test.
Next step would be fuel/air pressure tests. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
I'm guessing that you may locate the problem by the time you make it to the spark plugs. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
does it sound like a coil problem like talked about on other post?
That would be one of SEVERAL possibilities....
Also possible (killing an individual cylinder), would be:
-Spark Plug
-Direct Injector
-Fuel Injector
-Plug Wire
-Compression issue
-Reed Issue
And.... that's assuming that it's a "single cylinder" issue, and not an issue that has enacted "Engine Guardian" (limiting your power).
Best suggestion- start at checking for spark, and then proceed "methodically". Don't recommend going a whole lot further without the assistance of your dealer. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
the dealer said loose battery cables
sound right?
