    03 225 HO. Miss under load...??? Fix?

    i have a 225 ho E rud 2003 DI year model. I dont have the serial number at the moment. But was wondering what could cause it and how can it be diagnosed. not having any codes. so is it a ignition coil going bad.. bad plugs wires ect.. give me some details to look for. thanks... noticable difference. Are the coils similar to the 04 HO DI motors if so i wil have parts from it soon., Thanks

    the first thing to do is replace and index your sparkplugs, or at least regap them to about .028".

    You may need to hook up the software take it out run it and do a cylinder drop test to isolate. Do not rule out a bad plug, you may have put a bad one in.

    Have you checked and cleaned the exhaust pressure sensor? Also a bad prop hub can feel like a miss at high speed!
