I noticed on another post from MUDSHARK who had a similar issue, that it was diagnosed as a short in #5 injector.

My alarm is doing the beep beep beep, and the motor will not do any more than 5000 rpm. I know, shouldn't be running it, but had no choice. I just added oil into the gas tank to get home without blowing the powerhead.

Is there a way that I can check for a short/open injector and fix myself? Nearest merc dealer is 2 hours away.

Thanks as always.

Robert

UPDATE: Diagnosis was a short in the #6 injector. $300 part, $200 labor.
