I have a jetboat and have recently upgraded to 3.8 vr engine. goes like stink and very powerful although there is one (or more) problem(s). the boat goes really well nice engine note brilliant power and all that but when the engine gets warmer and after running for a while I park the boat up and it wont restart. the only way for it to restart is to open the engine bay and let it cool down for a half hour. while it wont start the fuel pump will go at the flick of a switch but still no firing. once it has cooled down the engine starts first pop and your away again. I have installed these engines in two other boats and they run fine but mine not so well... today we took it to the lake and one of the guys whose boat I installed a engine into came as well. they brought their great running holden commodore car (also vr) and we began to swap over parts, we exchanged ignition coils and dfi module unit, computer and also map sensor. Once exchanged the car ran well but the boat still wouldn't start ie the problem persists. Our conclusion is that perhaps my cooling system is not up to standards with the engine. this is the only differentiation between my boat and the two others. however I could do with some help before spending more money on something that may not work. thanks [/quote]    -  HTML is OFF | Forum Code is ON   Check here to include your profile signature.
